Can you show me a pic of your shifter ****? How does it compare to stock? How much and where did you buy it?

Thanks.

Your supposed to use all the grease they give you. Also all the screws have to be tightend according to the instructions.

Mine does rattle at high rpms but not under normal use. I dont care if it rattles. I am the only one in the car. I fixed this car up to be quick and beat other cars.

My shifter rattle sounds better than half the songs on the radio. Yes I agree I would like it even more if it didnt make noise. Like I said before, anything is better than stock.


I hope putting in rubber washers works. I will have to see if my plastic washers have broke yet.


Try letting your car warm up for 5 or 10 minutes when you first start it. You wont have trouble getting it into 1st. Also dont take the rpms over 2000-3000 when you shift for the first 5 minutes of driving.

It will go into every gear nice and smooth when cold. Warming it up in the driveway, if you have one; really helps.

Also, those two plates you are talking about-- are you talking about the guide plate and the blue one that comes w/ the B&M??
I was thinking that some sort of gasket or something rubber between the two would help with the rattle. Is that basically what you are saying in the above post?
the plates are what is causing my shift problem going into 5th..just need readjusting...the rattles come fron the actual shifter itself.the shifter lever is 2 peices ..if you look at the shifter around the bottom of the shaft there is a bolt going all the way though it..remove the bolt and the shifter will come in 2 peices...and most likely alot of broken black plastic oring will fall out....like i said ill take pictures and try rubber orings and post sometime next week if i can get to it

Yeah, when I was installing my short shifter I noticed at the end that there was an extra oring. I read through the installating instructions 1000 times over but I couldnt find anything telling me where that oring goes. Can someone help me out?

there is an Oring (big black one) that goes in the groove above the black fulcrum housing... that goes inbetween the blue plate and the shifter...

so there will be a groove for the oring above the black fulcrum housing and under the blue plate? Okay, once it warms up over here I will try and put that in. That could be the culprit in my rattling problem as well. We will see. Thanks!
