Shifter Stuck at Shift Gate Occasionally?

As title suggests, this usually happens when I am trying to roll from stop on second gear and I thought that I am fully engaged in the gear but then hear the grinding sound when engaging the clutch but found out that it looks like the shifter is only halfway in...

I am thinking of upgrading to a short throw shifter and see if that will improve the quality of the experience but would like to hear everyone’s opinion first. Another reason why I want to upgrade is hopefully this will get rid of the occasional crunchy shifting feel when changing gears. I have already changed the engine oil and transmission fluid for the rear and front which only helped a little bit.

There is also a lot of play with the shifter itself while in gear... which I believe is caused by worn out bushings? Not sure if that would cause the issue I am having.

I think ultimately I want to have a better driving experience when driving this car and the only thing that is bothering me is the crunchy shifting.
