sounds like the clutch isn't fully disengaged, have you checked your clutch line, make sure it's fully bled?

do you think it's due to the short shifter i installed, and not engauging correctly?

well grinding usually happens when someone tries to shift while the gearbox isn't fully disengaged.

i'm assuming that, before you intalled the clutch/flywheel, your short shifter was functioning normally, and you had no grind. if that is the case, then more than likely something went wrong during the clutch/flywheel install, and the clutch is unable to fully disengage when shifting, hence the grind.
