Default Shift bushings for B&M buzzzzzz

My B&M shifter buzzes at certain RPM ranges and it drives me nuts. I was considering going back to a stocker but came accross these from PWJDM

Would this cure my problem?

this same kit is available without the PWJDM name for a more realistic price. What part of your shifter is buzzing? underneath the car? maybe take a look and find out exactly what is vibrating down below before you throw money at it.

1/4 the price FTW!!

The lever buzzes really badly over 6k rpms. I was told that it's due to metal on metal contact due to a lack of a plastic coupling. I honestly don't know much about shifters in general and would've been happy with the oem, but the car came with the B&M.

Mine is not a b&m but did the same thing,

Just get some thick grease put it on the shift ball

and bushing should go away. mines fine after 3 years.

mine does this too... I have a B&M dual bend + ES bushings, and when Im on the highway cruising @ 70+ I have a buzzzzzz coming from the shifter ****... Has done the same thing with both my Buddy Club and Spoon shift *****. Its gotta be something related to the B&M shifter.

I decided to go back to the stocker. I ordered a new one form my local dealer and some new bushings from M-Factory. Hopefully this cures the problem. It bothers me so much. Really detracts from the enjoyment of driving it with that loud high pitched buzz.
