Check that the seal is tight. Compare the short shifter with the stock shifter. Notice how the stock shifter is a little wider at the base where it meets the trans hump. The short shifter may not be sealing completely and leaving an air gap = noise.

You can try realigning your shifter and make sure all the parts (gaskets, seals, etc.) are there.

If nothing else you can try to seal up the gap(s) with some tape.
