Default rattle coming from shifter on an m6 car...

when taking off from a stop, only at the beginning when disengaging the clutch, a kind of clunking, rattle type noise comes from up top around the shifter. any ideas on what this could be? is something up top coming loose maybe?

Are you sure this is a shifter problem? The exhaust on my M6 car makes a rattling noise because when we ran the exhaust, we tucked it up tight so sometimes when disengaging the clutch, the Y pipe hits on the floor pan.
Common issue with alot of catbacks.

My stock Hurst started making a rattle too at higher rpm's. I didn't think it was the clutch because it had just been replaced with a Diamond stage 2 awhile back. I went ahead and installed an MGW and now the rattle is gone. No idea what went wrong (everything seemed tight) other than it was an 11 year old shifter.
