Default Z06 shifter noise

I have a 2007 Z06 and the shifter rattles in 2nd gear but only at 4000 rpm and up. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You need to replace the shifter with the updated GM model. Mine did the same the first year I owned the car and GM replaced it under warranty.

Whining and rattling are probably different.

Marc,

The marble in a can is not what he's describing. The marble in a can sound is when driving slow at low RPM, parking lot in 2nd gear, etc.., and that's due to the torque tube converter design. His issue is what I posted above.

Talking about a rattle noise, not whine. Mine started rattling at about 2000 miles and was replaced by the dealer with the newer model shifter.
