Default Short Shift rattle solution!

Finally!
We love the short shifter. I love the Hurst Billet Plus! Can't beat it's rugged solid one piece construction. Teamed with the t-6060 it is great. The old hurst had a two piece stick. And not so solid base.
The Billet is much better. Except for the dreaded buzz or vibration. Which was easy to beat on the C-6.

But not with the Z0-6's more it's solid mounting.
After playing with it, The answer is to quell the vibration on the stick.
First the factory two rubber boot set up doesn't work or fit with the Hurst Billet slim one peice stick. So I added rubber to the base.
Sort like the factory stick , sized to the boots. Plus it quell
the rattles.

Perfect Job! I used stretch rubber from the plumbing section at the hardware. About 7.00 for a roll. It looks like black tape but it
seals pipes and sticks to itself. You want to stretch it as you wrap
it low as you can on the stick.
Pictures below. Perfect. rattle free, quick shifts after you are done.
Photo 1 is the first step. After the shifter is in place.
Notice the rubber on the stick. It is real solid and won't move.


photo2 is with second rubber installed on the stick above the first.

photo 3 is the first boot on.


photo 4 is second factory boot in place. This really seals tight and clamps the stick so no rattle and no transmisson noise's. Less noise than factory.

Last 2 are my favorite **** installed!
