Short throw shifter rattle

Hmmmm......this is timely, and somewhat disappointing. Did you call the manufacturer? If so, what did they say? And I was about ready to buy the unit. I am subscribing.

I know mine isnt a b&m shifter, but a clone...

I believe I know where the rattle is coming from...

look at the 6th picture and on...

You see where the two shafts mate up and there is a hex bolt and locknut connecting the upper and lower shaft together...

This is where I felt obvious movement, I tightened the locknut 5 turns and it still has play, enough so that when I move it back and forth I can here it hitting metal...

So at high rpm's I could see the rattle coming from this area, just my observation, I dont have it installed yet...

USPS delivered a few goodies today! - Short Trow Shifter & Magnetic Drain Plug

I just got my shifter in from Z1 Motorsports:
AMS Adjustable Short Throw Shifter available @ Z1 Motorsports



I plan on getting it installed within the next 2 weeks. Since I'm re-using all the stock components, there should be no difference in "rattle" or vibration as the OEM one.

I'll post some pics and impressions later.
