Default New Shift **** = More noise??

I just put a Hurst classic shift **** (black ball with 6-speed markings) on my z28 replacing the factory hurst leather **** and I now hear a noise that sounds like a whine or something. At first I thought it was a vacuum leak or something under the hood, but when I cup my hand over shifter I can hear it better.

Anyone else with this shifter experience this??

When I put the LSS on my factory Hurst, I noticed a little more tranny noise. Not sure what the deal is, but I have a nice stereo system, so it doesn't really bug me.

ya, i got that to with my pro 5.0 and lss. since i just put a new part in i was **** and looking for any warning sounds of impending doom, and i here all this tranny noise and i freak. silverghost is with me and hes partially deaf so he wasn't much of a help.

its normal, since your going to a more solid shifter you dont have the rubber in there anymore acting as a noise dampening agent.

Exact same thing with my LSS on the factory hurst. With it there's no rubber bushing to keep noise down. The solid ball probably acts like an amplifier.
