This is the noise level of mine now. I can live with that (note the center console is not mounted and it takes quite a bit of noise):

You don't know what the rattle is on the shifter? Or you do and it just wont go away with anything you do?

I got mine installed a couple of days ago and have rattle in all the top gears (1st, 3rd, 5th), although it's really bad in 3rd. I haven't had a chance to remove the console yet but it sounds like it could be coming from the linkage. First thing I'll try is to add some o-rings or a washer and a metric ton of grease.

If you are lucky enough to have a car where the stock shifter doesn't vibrate, you probably wont have any problems with this shifter either. From doing a ton of research on shifter rattle on this forum here, it seems to be the same problem with every short shifter mod and with the stock shifter and the TSB from Scion. Solution, get another gearbox. Quote:

OK, here is a possible solution: the bolt in the picture 1 is to fixate the cable. The movement could be happening where the hex key is pointing in picture 2.
If you undo the bottom bolt, (make sure you have something to hold the cable into position) and pull it a little to apply a slight tension on the cable, the rattle could be possibly eliminated! Also, to reduce the rattle please use a piece of hard rubber to place it in between the unit and gearbox! Or like our german friend here, use a piece of carbon fiber. |

I have made this sandwich consisting of carbon fiber plate, soft rubber and aluminum plate. Will report back with results.

Sorry in advance if this isn't the best place for this.
I like the idea of the irp short shifter, but not the nearly $500 price tag... I just don't think I could justify that cost. Even the kartboy seems expensive for what it does ($290 or so). Have any of you considered a budget setup to shorten throw and extend the shift lever? I want a higher lever for autox and track, but at a lower price range. I was thinking something like the TRD short shifter http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/trd-...Q#.WMP0Z59OnqA coupled with something like this: (4 or 7 inches) https://www.twmperformance.com/shift...ies-shift-knob Or (5 inches) http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/alum...l#.WMP8Vp9OnqB Or a simple extender http://www.subispeed.com/torque-solu...Q#.WMP-D59OnqA There's also this thread http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2425528 but curious how something like what I've mentioned compares to the IRP. |

Even though you are using a short shifter, the taller you go, the longer the throws get

http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showp...1&postcount=15 I'm glad the IRP came out, because it's ~1/2 the price of the CAE Ultra shifter and basically performs the same...

Just got mine installed yesterday. Decided to add some tennis overgrip to it to add some color and more grip. Figured it would help with wear over time from shifting.

Got this installed yesterday. Seeing all the talk of vibration, I cut up the large stock rubber boot and used it as a gasket between the car and the IRP base plate. It appeared that the main bracket was going to rub against the metal ring as everything was tightened down, so I put some thin rubber in those locations. Went for a drive and still got a lot of vibration from what seemed to be the reverse button, mainly in the odd gears, but in all gears the higher the RPMs got. I removed the reverse button and the small metal cylinder below it that the cable goes through. I put some tape around them to stop metal on metal contact. That probably took away 90% of the annoying rattle for me. I'll need to drive some more to see if it's tolerable for me now. I could always try the CF base plate idea or I might need some thicker tape or something similar in the areas I've already tried.

It's a 3 mm rubber plate below the carbon. Combined with a softer rubber boot. Note the boot doesn't touch the carbon only the rubber and it's not firmly attached, just floating on top of the rubber plate. The carbon plate is just there to stabilize the rubber. This took away all the handle-noise and I now only have a hissing rattle from the button above 6-7k rpm. Would be great to eliminate that too.
