Default Hurt Shifter Rattle FIXED!!

I recently read a few threads about many other having the same rattle problem and some did not - so I took the console off last night and apparently found the problem....

Three of the 4 bolts were loose (although they looked tight) thus allowing play on the shifter base (just a tiny bit).. I could have sworn that I tightened all four bolts until they would go no further the first time - but apparently not.. If you will notice - ALL 4 bolts will recess "into" the shifter base and then bottom out.. apparently (on mine) they had to "settle" first then they would go down more hance the play in the shifter base.

Now my shifter works at ALL RPMS withOUT the buzzing rattle.. Shifts obviously feel more crisp and clean.. Lovin it! :yesnod:

Just thought I would share that with you guys in case this may help some of the other with the same rattle.. :cheers:

When I installed mine last night I used the 10 lb. torque spec. Seems to be solid as can be.
