If people are experiencing a rattling at the upper RPM range...I think that its in the shifters design. The area right before the threaded area...is a little too narrow and lightly touches the shifter at high RPM's...I think. Not the attachment piece...the main shift knob has a small "dead" area before the threads. I think that it is somewhere in here......just cant locate it.

I have used electrical tape at the bottom....taped the threads to mitigate metal to metal contact...and it still vibrates. Took off the shift knob and floored it and I didnt hear the vibrations. So it must be in the shifter. I just cant seem to isolate it.

Hopefully someone can locate this rattling if it is indeed my shift knob.
