I have been using the anti-rattle kit for almost a month, and I've noticed ZERO improvement. I ended up getting my kit from FT86Speedfactory, who had it on my doorstep in less than 2 days. I'm still waiting for IRP's kit to show up. (It's been over a month now)

That said, I've noticed that the biggest improvement came from obtaining a piece of R/C foam, that's designed to protect the motors of R/C planes, helicopters, etc from crashes. I cut it into a pad, the same size as the bottom plate of the shifter, and sandwiched it in between the shifter and the rubber gasket. It didn't eliminate the rattle, but it helped. The source of the rattle is 100% the shaft of the button rattling around in the inside of the shifter, so I will continue to look for away to fix it....

which might mean a CAE shifter in is my future... :eyeroll:
