Rattling shifter My car has the stock Hurst shifter. I first noticed, when I would downshift to 4th and get into it, my shifter would rattle. If I kept a tight grip it wouldn't do it. Since, I have noticed 3rd and 5th do it as well, but not as bad. It seems to be a combo of over 60 mph, and getting on the gas (not even full throttle).
So, anything I should check before I tear into it? Anyone want to donate a Pro 5.0 shifter to the cause? JUST KIDDING!

If you are new to the car check out the shifter handle. If the stock handle( it should have a large rubber-filled"can" where it attaches to the shifter) has been changed that is your problem= the isolation has been defeated. If the mounts have been changed to the stiffer poly mounts=thats a contributor / the isolation has been defeated. I don't think you have a trans crap-out worry yet.
