did you install the "noise reduction/vibration kit" while installing your new shifter? thanks

ffrcobra_65 · 01-05-2012, 11:50 AM

yes. You MUST install it unless you don't mind the rattling.

Partick · 01-05-2012, 11:51 AM

I have not installed it, small annoyance that hasn't bothered me much...

Didn't install mine either,...if you do, even hurst says the "feel" won't be the same...what little "noise" there is, you can stop by just keeping hand on the shifter between gears...you'll love it!

I didn't install it either. Actually, have not noticed any rattling issues with my car.

Falundir · 01-05-2012, 01:05 PM

Didnt install. Just make sure everything is real tight.

skatalic · 01-05-2012, 01:06 PM

I did not. I do hear rattling when I punch it in second, but as long as I know what it is, I dont care

This is how mine is. I Installed mine but not the part that goes on the shifter handle.

thaks for all the input,guys ! i almosts

always keep my hand on the shifter anyway,so i should be all set.like you say,as long as you know where the noise is coming from... and i can deal with ambient"performance noise" !

ZED SLED · 01-05-2012, 02:41 PM

Wasn't available when I got mine. I did put some Dynomat on the linkage that I could get to though. Rattles a little under load in 3rd but not enough to warrant taking that damn dust boot off again!

Didn't install. Only get spittle noise when getting on it in 3rd. Not enough to bother me.

Yeah, it annoyed me a little the first time I tested it right after I installed it, but I didn't have my hand on the shifter at the time. Like you, I pretty much keep my hand on it until I get to whatever gear I'm heading for, and it only does it during a hard acceleration, so I left it.

wow, the power of the forums is great!

I developed a little rattle and was trying to figure out what it was, was begining to worry me. Coincidentally it started right after I had the shifter installed and it only does it under load.

I'm confident that it's the lack of "noise reduction/vibration kit" installation that's doing it... guess I need to revisit that.

Yep, they originally didn't have that kit in with the shifter, but they got enough complaints to start including it.
