I switched over to e85 and that put an end to the chirping.
I will absolutely not be doing that.

I tried damn near everything with the rear deck. Went through the TSB about pipping the spot welds and greasing up the deck, that helped a little. What really solved the problem was getting rid of the 3rd brake like. There are a couple options for that. But you might get lucky spraying some grease back there.
Well, that's a bit of a bummer. I read the TSB and thought it was the biggest joke in the world. Really? Spray grease in there? Didn't seem like it would be very effective. I bent the alignment tab over used on the door transmitter, but of course that did nothing. I'd prefer not to modify anything from OEM, so removing the 3rd brake light assembly doesn't sound very appealing.

I've got sound deadening material all over my door and switches and still have rattles. I'm going to take another swing at it some day.
Also a bummer!

Swapping fluids helped with the notchy shifter a little. I'm using motul now but am going to try Amsoil soon. I live in Florida though so it doesn't get that cold.
Swapping fluids hasn't worked for me. I'm on Motul now, but tried Amsoil before that. Once it gets around 60, it gets awful until the car completely warms up. When the weather is frigid in the dead of winter, it started scratching gears.
