Hey all,


Have been searching for the fix for this for months, have tried a lot of different things, and have had ZERO luck.


Occurs at ~4k rpm to redline in any gear, but it's most obvious when in 2nd + 4th.


I've tried:
-Adding stock washer to shift linkage (forgot during install)
-Replacing stock washer in shift linkage with thicker washer to remove all remaining slack between arm and retainer clip
-Pulling rubber boot over reverse lockout
-Holding reverse lockout, but no change in noise
-Driving the car with everything except shifter removed from car (center console, shift knob, both boots, etc) and touching everything I can to try to reduce noise


None of these have made ANY difference. Based on comments from other users, it sounds like this is still a problem for many of us who have just been dealing with it.




Still need to try:
-Regreasing all bushings + ball joint
-Grease washer + retaining clip in shift linkage


Any other ideas? Anyone else with this issue? Will update thread with the fix once found.






SOLVED: Found the 2 O-rings included with the shifter still in the plastic bag. Jacked the car up, pulled the rubber boot back, took the retaining clip out, removed the washer, installed the 2 O-rings, reinstalled washer, reinstalled retaining clip. Went for a test drive and no more rattles! Shifter feels like it has slightly more horizontal play while in gear, but happy to make that trade off for no more rattle.
I double checked, but this is NOT something Kartboy includes in their DIY instructions, so I was unclear as to if I should be putting a single o-ring between the washer and arm, then the second o-ring between the clip and the washer or just double up on them between the washer and arm?
