I just wanted to say thanks to whomever posted about using dynamat to silence syncro whine and other gearbox noise from the shifter area. I applied some spare Super Dynamat to the shifter stalk as well as the top portion of the gearbox housing, noise is greatly reduced. Thanks!

Great info. I will keep it in mind.

 

nice, i just installed my second b&m shifter after a couple of months..funny thing is that this feels better than my last one..idk why, maybe the other one was a defect? well anyway the throws are DEF shorten, hard to tell what gear im in lol

ill try that dynamat since im getting a whisting noise as im revving so hopefully it quiets the sound down..

 

how exactly do you put the dynomat in to silence it?...

 

Does anybody elses short shifter rattle a little bit if you let go of it and hit the gas? Mine rattles in fourth and fifth. If I put my hand on it and push it forward a little bit in fourth or pull it back a little in fifth or if I don't touch it and just let off the gas it'll stop.

 

Mine does slightly in those same gears with my ebay special. I can feel a little play in the shifter. I just put in a new bushing about 2 months ago(2nd one in two years). While installing the new bushing, I noticed that the old nylon bushing shrank. That's why mine rattles. I may go with the aluminum bushing next time.

 

I figured it was the bushings but I just wanted to check and see if maybe someone who did the dynamat had the same problem and it reduced it... thanks.

 

my shifter is very tight now..it requires some effort to get into 5th as well as reverse..its nice and tight, just how i like it lol

i love this short shifter
