That's a vid of what it was doing, and how "slow" it get's up.
And its a whole short shifter, not just an adapter

You are shifting way too fast and hard and your synchros can't go that fast. It's definitely not the short shifter. It will do that even with a stock shifter (I Know) if you shift too hard and do it quite often.

Yeah, just take it easy. I used to do it a lot when I first got my car and got short shifter which I broke by shifting too hard into 3rd (Ebay pos). I put the stock shifter back on and when I shift kinda fast, it makes that noise, but not as bad.

I have a B16 with a GS-R tranny, short shifter and never had a problem.
Had a 93 Prelude Si w/o short shifter and third gear was grinding at high rpm's like a mofo.
