Default Rattle/Vibration from Short Shifter

Ever since I installed my Shark Racing short shifter it has rattled and vibrated at hight revs - aside from driving around below 4000rpm I haven't been able to fix the problem.

I have tried wrapping bubble-wrap around the gear linkages (the sheathed part) and putting tape on the pin that hold the gear cable onto the short shifter as it was a bit loose after the installation.

Would be interested to hear if anyone else has experienced this problem and what they did to fix it.

TIA

Zorro

Yes, me too. Just thought I had a lose bolt or something..i can hold it to the right and it's quiet. Normal (any gear) position..and i get a little vibration noise..kinda bothersome..if i didnt have the music on all the time.

I think I have managed to fix it! I cut a piece of rubber hose. I pulled the forward/backward gear cable of the SS and pushed on the little piece of hose, then reassembled it - no more vibration! smile.gif
