I get rattles from my B&M Ripper. I think that it is the stock **** that causes most of my rattle. I put racer tape around the threaded portion of the shifter and pounded the **** on, most of the rattle is gone. I am looking for a threaded shifter **** to try to see if that makes any difference.

Sometimes it rattles when I am not touching it (hard accelleration) and sometimes only when I have my hand lightly on it. (2-3K rpm). Now I use the gas pedal to avoid the rattle.

I installed a Kirban about 3 weeks ago. I am really pleased. Has a nice solid feel and I am not getting any vibration or additional noise. Changiing the fuild next to see if it gets any better. Did the clutch fuild last weekend and it made a big difference in the pedal feel.
