Hi all,
First of all the short shifter is nice but I hate it because its straight... The ones with the original bend would be better...
Anyways, I have weird rattelling sound after installing it.
Especially when driving on low RPM and trying to accelerate.
I checked underneath the car today, and when I move the stick from side to side there is some clicking sound, but I couldn't understand where it was coming from...

Any ideas what could be the problem?

 

my guess is its hittin your exhaust

 

did u install the spacers between the shifter and the linkage?

 

I Had the same poblem, its just hitting your Exhaust, you can either bend the hangers down a little or get longer rubber pieces for the hangers. 2 cents

 

Did you put the metal sleeve with rubber o-rings from your old shifter into the new one?

 

Heres a pic of what was left after the installation:

the 3 red o rings are for interga only
the 4 black ring are replaces with new ones from the b&m kit

There was no info about the two black rings/spacers at the instruction and I couldnt get them in...
(There is some other o-rings that goes at the same place)
Maybe that the problem?

 

when mine rattles i just go under and tighten the bolts holding the shifter in there, always works for me

 

Mine was rattelling from the first day I installed it...

Did you put back the 2 black rings/spacer that in the pic?

 

those 2 black rings have to be left off cuz they only fit on the oem shifter.

instead of tightening it all the timejust put some lock tight on there otherewise ur gonnadrop ur linkage and be stuck in gear or out whatever

 

If I remember right there is a lot of clearance between the exhaust and the shifter.... thats the first thing I checked....

Anyways I'll check it again... Thanx

 

mine did the same thing. but mine wasn't hitting the exhaust. the bolt was rattling inside the shifter. i'm guess the o-rings that fit on the collar was to small. i decided to take the shifter out.

 

I have the same shifter..No rattles or problems.

x2

 

I just istalled a new Skunk2 shift ****, and guess what? The rattelign stopped!!
I still don't know if the problem was with the old shift **** (apc crap) or with the B&M shifter and the extra weight of the Skunk2 know stopped it...

 

I also had the same problem...but i didnt install a short shifter i just put a stock one back on and i didnt do sumthin right and when i would give it throttle it would rattle...it was just hitting the exhaust
