Default Rattle from my Breathless Shifter...

Installed a new Breathless shifter and it rattles like a bag of marbles when taking it to a high rpm... Everything is tightened down...Any suggestions?

Thanks

I switched shift ***** (helped a little) and I just tried the tennis ball trick, but haven't driven the car yet to see if that worked. :confused:
I think most after market shifters rattle. :smash: :smash:

I'll get the Z out tomorrow. Let you know if the tennis ball trick worked!
Breathless is supposed to have a fix for the rattle. :rolleyes:

I did the tennis ball on the Hurst. Helped a lot but still a tad of rattle left. Not nearly as bad.

Just got back from a test run. the tennis ball trick worked!! :yesnod:

Cut a tennis ball in half and then cut a slot for the shifter, then slide the tennis ball down over the shifter . EASY!!! :thumbs:
