You'll see a split pin holding the gear lever to the rod on the gearbox. Remove it together with the thin washer and replace with a thicker steel washer and refit the pin. Problem solved.
( It's the joint right at the bottom of this pic that you're looking for.)

BTW.
I've sprayed some Liqui Moly Tacky Lube Spray in there as well for good measure.
EDIT:
Special thanks to @ Freedom who noticed the loose washer. |
Sorry to revive a dead thread but do you recall the inner diameter and thickness of the washer you used to stop the rattle?
