okay heres the problem.

I get rattling noise coming from the shifter when im driving. It only rattles when im not on the gas pedal.

anybody have the same problem? or might know whats wrong?

 

i have the same problem, only with a megan racing short throw shifter. who ever installed it didnt tighten it enough. im going back to autohaus where i got it installed and there going to fix it.

 

I added a rubber bushing on mine and the rattles went away.

Put it where the short throw and the shift rod connect (under the car)

 

hrmm rubber bushing ey. ill look into that. thanks

 

i replaced the bushings too. and it still does that

 

Does it hit the exhaust at all?

And that small ring on the top of the shiftboot, it can rattle a lot if it's broken any.

 

it doesnt rattle all the time. it doesnt rattle in 1st and i dont think 2nd

 

id say you need look back over what you installed, did you forget any of the bushings or is the shifter hitting the heat shields?

 

anybody actually gone thru this problem and fixed it?

 

when i was trying to fix mine i got confused with people saying bushings.. but meaning the rubber o-rings. the rod that goes through the hole at the bottom of the shifter (this is the rod that the bolt goes through, which connects the shifter and shift linkage together) should have 4 grooves and 4 rubber o-rings should go in them.

the B&M shifter rattles because the 4 ORANGE o-rings that came with the shifter were smaller than the stock BLACK ones. I threw my stock o-rings back on.. and it still rattles somewhat when i let off the gas in 5th... or when i am in high rpms (6500+).

i forgot where i read this (and i havent had time to do it myself) but some people went to home depot.. lowes.. or whatever you have.. they bought some o-rings that were larger than the stock black ones.. but small enough to fit *VERY* snugly through the shifter. they threw those on and the rattle was gone.

 

hmm will find out if it works or not i guess. thanks!

 

i had the same problem with my dc sport short shifter...just do what everyone else has suggested and replace the bushing...

 

same problem. tightened and went away
