Rattling Pro 5.0 w/MBA **** and Lou's Short Stick.
I have checked all the fasteners, etc, **** is screwed on tight, too. When I accelerate hard I get a very loud rattling/vibration from the entire shifter.
Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem, in all gears, but the shifter itself does not shake or vibrate at all. I put blue gasket sealent aroung the base where it bolts to the tranny though. Think maybe I didn't put enough?

mine did the same, i just made a gasket (cut one out from material atainable at autozone) and let the rtv sealent set up for a little bit, then put the shifter on and its a silent as a lamb

All the Pro 5.0s do it. You can solve some of it by backing off the stops. The tranny has built in stops, and you'll mixed feelings on whether or not to do it. I backed mine out just far enough, I used RTV at the base. But I still get vibrations at high rpms in all gears. I think I'll try the gasket mod...

I did the gasket mod, and it cut down on the rattling a little, but not completely. It now only rattles in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, and only at higher RPM's. I think I will try the adj. stop method BAD *** TA WS6 mentioned, and I was wondering: does anyone think it could be in the handle itself?! Mine is tight, but it might not hurt to use a really thin gasket paper and make a gasket to go between the shifter and the stick itself, where the two bolts are. Justa thought.
