Default 4th Gear Noise

Has anyone experienced a slight rattling sound, almost like the sound of an exhaust leak when you step on in it in 4th gear? It only occurs in 4th and only when cruising at 65-70, until you reach about 3,500 RPM's.

Put your hand on the shifter when this occurs and see what happens. Could be shifter rattle, especially if you've messed with your stock shifter. Ever since I cut mine down slightly, I get a bit of a rattle under certain conditions. I didn't leave a deep enough groove for the demon key, thus it doesn't attach the **** as firmly as before and it rattles ever so slightly. YMMV.
