Mine is for sure coming from the lateral adjustment screws for the reverse lockout. 2nd gear has a bit of side-to-side play causing it to lightly tap against the screw. I'll tighten it up and report back. Still buzzing in 3rd gear though but I'm starting to think that this may be something I'll have to get used to over time.

Not sure if it's due to the cable. Looks and feels just like a bicycle brake/shift cable which should fit pretty snug in the housing. But at the same time, I'm also running a JWT lightweight flywheel so my transmission already makes all sorts of crazy noises.

Not that I'm aware of. I'll see if I can take a video later today to show what I'm experiencing.

I ordered and had mine installed a couple of months back, it was also making rattling noises but in addition during a hard shift it would make slapping/clapping noise i assumed this was due to the design of the shifter but it was annoying so i looked at some youtube vidoes and others CW shifters were not doing that SO i had another mechanic take it out look and he added a rubber bushing, i dont have a pic of what he did but the pic below shows where he added the bushing and its been quiet since...i really think that new design is broken...

Mine doesn't have the slapping noise either. I thought the new design was just the 370z mounting plate. Did they do something else?

No slapping or odd noises here.

I also used to work at a bike shop. Yokozuna cables all day!
Not experiencing any cable rattle or hard shift noise though.

That's my understanding. The actual shifter assembly appears to be the same from all the photos I've seen. They just revised the mounting plate.

Here's a video to show the 2nd gear rattle (and very faint, in 4th)

Should be fixed now after adjusting the screws. No more play in 2nd gear. Although I'm expecting a bit of noise in 3rd and 4th

Product and function look good.

Rattle would drive me crazy.

Just found out about this shifter and it looks sick!

I read through the thread and I was just wondering if anyone has tossed one in recently and how the newer version is with rattling issues etc. Also, is Soho or someone else still selling them here?

Thanks, yeah, I seen that link but I'm more interested in user feedback for anyone who's had one installed for a while. If there's any trouble shooting needed or if the updated mounting plate solved the initial install/vibration issues..

I've been using one for a while. I love it. Mine doesn't have a rattle but at high rpm it has a buzzing noise. It sounds like it's coming from the inner cable on the reverse lock out. I just installed it in another car, when I get it back on the road I'll see if it's still there.

Cool, thanks man! I don't mind a little noise since I already have long tube headers etc.. Just more concerned about any long term issues from usage/vibrations and any mounting problems which I'm assuming have been resolved with the updated version..

Coolerworks originally made the shifter for 350z's. I'm assuming due to demand for a 370z shifter they added the 350z mounting plate to the 370z shifter to get in on the market which meant drilling new holes in the trans tunnel. It didn't affect the fuctionality of the shifter at all. My flywheel makes a lot more noise than the shifter does and like I mentioned, it only does it at high rpm. Regular daily driving there is no noise at all. If you want a shifter with short, clean, positive shifts then you'll love this shifter.

TheTripleC · 10-11-2019, 04:02 PM

Nice, nice, thanks man! Aside from fitment, my main concern was whether or not it was well suited to daily driving and not just track days etc..
