Hey guys I was just curious about something. When you pull off your shifter and unbolt it from the tranny. You look into the tranny (the box). The shifter just goes into the lil box metal to metal?? I've taken it apart so many times and never thought about it. You'd think they'd be like a rubber insulator or something to keep it from rattling metal to metal. My 5.0 just rattles my ears off.

there should be a plastic isolator bushing in there

really.... hmmm. But if it wasnt there, wouldn't it not work right??? Maybe I just didn't see it. Im talking about the little box that the ball of the shifter goes into.

If the isolator bushing is not there or loose, it would not shift right. Get a new one and be sure to epoxy it in.

You mean epoxy it to the trans...whatever that bowl thing is called. The stuff the shifter ball goes into right.

That's correct, metal to metal. The stock shifter has a rubber isolator where the stock handle bolts to the stock shifter. The pro5 does not have that isolator. You're trading sound isolation for more solid shift feel. My pro5 gives off some rattle too.

Don't mis lead him/ understand what he is asking. The question had nothing to do with a handle.Y2 there is a plastic socket that is epoxied into the trans where the shifter fits. It is NOT metal to metal. If yours (socket ) is missing or loose replace it AND glue it in.The shifter base to trans "box" joint uses only an RTV sealant- there is no gasket.
