Default Short shifter problem, Help!

I fitted my short shifter recently but when i accelerate above around 15mph it starts vibrating really fast and making a fairly loud noise i have fitted the rubber spacers/washers at the end of the shifter and i cant seem to work out what else it can be, all the bolts are as tight as i can get them.
Ill gladly try any advice thanks!

I had an aftermarket exhaust, and it had this hangar piece that was hitting, so i just choped that off, and its all better now.
