just give it a half a turn and you should be nice and quiet.

its on the end where the shifter bushings are located. it works just like the cable adjusters on a bicycle brake.

Hey Tom,

Thanks for the suggestion. Is the barrel that you adjust the thing circled in red in the attached picture?

I'm going to try this method in a couple of days. I'll let you know when I'm done.

Also see this thread for another possible source of reverse lockout rattles after ss install.

I notice the same thing on my cobb ss. But then I twisted the knob until it can't turn anymore and made it straight never had a problem since.

With work I still have not had a chance to try this...but tomorrow I've got the day off! I'll post when I'm done.

I second wdb's post. I had a rattle on my KB post-installation test drive that was caused by my failure to transfer the little rubber piece. I swapped it over, and no rattle since.

krazyk1371 · 05-30-2006, 05:13 PM

Well I tried to tighten the cable underneath the car and the whole line just spun. I think that I'm going to bribe Tom @kartboy to fix it for me.

Krazyk - did you have a chance to look at your uninstalled stock shifter to see if there is a gasket still on the shaft? It sits right on the seat of the reverse lockout.

No, I didn't see anything on the old shifter. I do remember the gasket that your talking about but I can't remember if I reinstalled it or not. I hate messing with that cotter pin so I'll have to suck it up until I run into Tom again and throw some cash his way.

I installed the old shift knob and while I was under the car I gave the cable a little tug. This seemed to stop most but not all of the rattles coming from the shifter.

I'm done trying to isolate this issue for now. I'll have to corner Tom @kartboy with a roll of pennies to see if he can fix it.

Are you happy to see me or is that a roll of pennies in your pants?

were moving shortly so things will be a mess at the shop for a few.
i'd be happy to take a look for you.
