shifting problems (high rpms)
-A short shifter was put into my the car but it might of not been installed right (previous owner did a self install) as for some reason i cant shift at a high rpms especially when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. I have to shift under 3500 rpms or the car will be hard to shift to the next gear and sometimes will make a grinding noise however when i ease it into 2nd gear it shifts just fine. The other gears are fine for the most part...

Try buying a decent short shifter or OEM piece and replacing it. It may have just been installed incorrectly, or is a piece of crap.
If that doesn't fix it, it may be a clutch or transmission issue. Check the fluid level and bleed the clutch system. I had a lot of grinding problems when my clutch went out, so you might just need a new clutch.
