Default Loud A$$ Shifter!

A while back there was a thread on how to make the Pro 5.0 shifter shut up by rapping it in some kind of insulation. I looked for the thread and I can't find it! Anyone else remember it or know what to insulate the shifter in? Does everyone else with the 5.0 notice how LOUD the it is?

You'll get used to it.. That or you will turn your stereo up. A cat back would also hide it.

You can't fix it, only cover it up. Also, it does get quieter than when it was new, for some reason.

You mean loud as in the clunk-clunk sound when you change gears?? My friend's Pro 5.0 does that in his Mustang, doesn't really bother me, just turn the music up and you won't hear it lol

Yes I mean that loud clinking sound. I'm pretty much used to it but you can't always blast the stereo with other people in the car. That thread I read a while back had some good info I wish I could find it.
