exactly.
I was probably one of the first guys to personally go back to the Hurst office to complain about the rattle...their head tech rode in with me and recorded the unacceptable rattling noise. They put my car on the lift and added tiny strips of dynamat under there and also on the shifter shaft.
If you ever resell your car, you won't want the rattle to scare off potential buyers. The vibration kit has no impact of how the shifts feel, only the annoying rattle goes away. Most cases, even with your hand on the shifter knob, when you accelerate hard between 1-2 and 2-3, you will hear the rattle. Some cars however don't rattle at all without the fix.
