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!

 

I have the same exact problem, anyone have any words of wisdom? I just bought this car and hope the trans isn't gonna cra pout on me.

 

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.

 

my shifter rattled LESS when i went to poly mounts, stock hurst shifter.

 

Thanks man , that is reassuring.

 

Perhaps yours rattled less with the poly because you had a broken mount and any undamaged mount would improve.
