Default MGW 30% Shifter

I just purchased the MGW 30% after talking to whom I presume was the owner. I ask him if his shifter had rattle problems and he said no. I open the package and low and behold, there is a disclaimer for rattles...saying it might rattle. I'm like...WTF ? So, I install...take it for a drive and it rattled up a storm. Any thing over 3000 rpm...you better hold on to it or you will go crazy. I am pissed at this time but decide I will just have to live with it. Then I got to listening close and it sounded like the **** (one of those Q ball type). I took it off and pumped it full of Permatex form a gasket #2.

RATTLE GONE, WASN'T THE SHIFTER AT ALL !!!!
JUst in case anybody else has the rattle, thought I would pass this on !!

I have the MGW 15% short shifter - no rattle at all. Performs flawlessly at all RPMs. I used the MGW Race ****. Any weighted **** will work well - avoid stock ***** or ones that are too light.

I'm glad you got it figured out. On a side note, I've gone through about 5 shift ***** and the only one that feels natural to me and doesn't slip out of my hand is the stock C6 ****.
