Fixed the rattle on my Ripper shifter...

And I didn't even do anything to it. Last weekend I changed the rear end fluid. I put Mobile 1 synthetic and I put the limited slip additive in there too. Today I finally took the car out, and the car seems to be running a lot nicer. Less noise from the rear end. And, my ripper shifter doesn't rattle any more. It used to drive me nuts, every time I was in 1st gear, and had the engine at more then 2k rpm's, the shifter rattle would overpower my stereo ... Don't know how it happened, but it sure made a difference.

I've found the Hurst Camaro shifter's to be junk, hardly better than stock. I'd be hard pressed to believe that their vette shifter is better than the B&M. Again, I haven't driven a Hurst vette, so I could be wrong, but my experience thus far with Hurst have not been pleasant ones.

No, I haven't driven a vette with the hurst shifter. I like the ripper, but the thing I couldn't stand was the rattle. But for some reson, it seems like the synthetic gear oil in the diff. took the rattle away.

Nathan- I think we've been over this before. Why do you insist on comparing two entirely different transmissions? The T56 shifter is as different from the ZF as either is to a Muncie. As the testimonies in this post below show and as many will soon see, the Hurst is the superior shifter for this application:
