Bringing this thread back to life. 6spd's fix sounds like the most legitimate. It's not the vibrations that are an issue, it's the audible buzz/rattle that the shifter gives off. For me it's when I am at high RPM in any gear and I let the engine decelerate and between 7k and 4.5k it gives off a nasty rattle/buzz sound. Having not taken apart the shifter assembly myself yet it's hard to visualize. Can anyone share any visuals that have it pinpointed where the source of the sound may be coming from? How about visuals of the white tie that holds the rubber boot up or the reverse lock out mechanism?
Looking at this thread article I can see that maybe the sound is coming from the shift boot base, maybe the shift cup and the shift base vibrating off each other or the shift plate and shift cup?
