shifter noise
 

Hi,
The shifter of my 86 wont stop make noise at high speed. I think it's the vibration of something that make that. I pulled shift knob on highway and the noise still there. So it's something else that make noise. Someone had already had this problem.

Thanks

What kind of noise? If it sounds like a high pitched whine, you probably need gear oil.

i think its a vibration noise, when i hold the knob tight, the noise stop

Could be the knob or the rubber boots that go around the shift lever. If they are torn up really bad it could be causing it. That or the shifter bushings. Those are the things I did when I had the problem and it is gone now.

could it be just a normal noise and your shifter bushings and/or rubber shifter booties are all worn out thus making it so you hear noise from it when it should be all sealed up?

My shifter makes a burbling noise when I hit high RPMs, any idea what that might be?

How you check for worn bushing?

I also have a shifter noise, but It's with my new Mazdatrix shifter...Mazdatrix says that one in every three RX-7's develop shifter noise, and that it's actually pretty normal and nothing to be worried about...<<shrugs>>

I have the mazdatrix shifter in my TII. I dont have any noise or viberation and I really love it . Really short throws and nice and tight almost like a video game shifter.

i have a noise during shifting. Its so wierd that no one has ever been able to tell me what it is so i just leave it be. I hear the noise during light acceleration in any gear and then always in fifth gear at low throttle. And it always goes away if i press down on my accelerator. Have no clue what it is but ive had to get used to the noise cuz it will not go away.:(
