Short stick and trans mount...
I figured I'd post 2 things in one thread. First is there any way to quiet down a short stick. I installed the UMI shortstick a little while ago and it is soooooo noisy! It feels great but I gotta quiet this thing down, any ideas?
Second if a trans mount has a small slit in it can it cause the usual symptoms of a broken mount. I slightly fit my pinky in the left side of the mount where the tear is, should I get a new one or wait till this one breaks completely?

I would guess the noise might be due to one or both of the bolts loosening up. Take off the shift ****, pop off the boot, and see if the two bolts are still tight. Reminder: a 6mm hex key is needed for the bolts. If they are loose then you might want to remove the bolts, put on a few drops of LockTite, and then reinstall and retighten them.
I installed the UMI short stick and noticed some noise. So I ignored it. Some time after that I began to notice my shift stick felt more and more "sloppy." I looked under the boot and saw the two bolts were not tight - one of them was so loose that I could tighten it with my fingers! That evening I drove home without any problems, then I used LockTite on the short stick bolt threads. The problem has not returned.

Hey there david-
thanks for the tip, I tried two pieces of a mouse pad cut down and it seemed to help a bit! The noise isn't completely gone but it helped a lot. Thanks again for the tip.
