Shifter rattle
Hello everyone , I’ve had my c5 for a year now and recently my rear shocks gave out and after a while a rattle in the shifter started and only rattles from 2000-2400k rpms in every gear . So I assumed it was maybe because of the angle of the car that could be forcing the shifter a certain way . I ended up replacing with new shocks and the rattle continued . I’m at a total lost on what it could be . Any help would be appreciated! I am posting a video Down bellow

It takes 10 minutes to remove the console to get to the shifter box. I would start there and make sure everything is snug.

Did you drive it over 2k RPM with the console and dust cover removed so you could get a look at what's happening at that RPM?

You confirmed shifter box is secure. My next steps would include all of the above.
Could be linkage, could be the throw out bearing, heck it could also be an exhaust pipe rattle resonating up through the shifter.
Process of intelligent elimination before you move on to the torque tube or trans.
