I have seen other threads. While there is a TSB about this for 2013 FRS, I have seen people with 2014+ FRS also talking about this issue.
I took the car to a Toyota dealer in the Dallas area, but they have been trying to punt on the issue. Once they said the rattle is normal. Another time, they showed me another used FRS with an even louder rattle.
My question is:
1. Has anyone been able to get this shifter rattle fixed under warranty (Subaru/Toyota)?
2. What was/is the fix to the issue (if any) that the dealer do?
The most likely fix I have read about is changing the o-ring and bushings. But there have been multiple fixes proposed....
Thanks!

Welcome to ..... The Forum ...... there, sid2022 ......
(oh, I hope your transmission has 6 forward speeds ....
)
Does your shifter actually make a rattling sound ..... or does it just vibrate (visually)..??
Do you have a short shifter installed .. ??
Does it do it when the shifter
knob is removed ..??
Come back .....
