OK, keep in mind this is my 3rd short shifter from them that I have installed.



Went to throw this one in and even though the shifter would drop in, it would not shift or center. So I clean out the linkage really good, still no help. I end up grinding a small amount (i hit the stock and the ss with calipers and found the ss to be .10 larger).



Ground it down and bam works great, I was pretty pissed as a 10 minute ordeal turned out to be a 2 hour ordeal as I had to shave just a bit at a time, then test, etc, etc...



Anyone ever have a similar issue? Anyone ever wonder if that being just a little out of spec or a little worn on the linkage side could cause the rattling? To small would seem to rattle between the linkage and the shift lever ball... now I need to conduct an experiment.

yer sista's ass or something

does it rattle or not





p.s- yo momma

No its too tight to rattle at least at the linkage point.

Did you read the Mazdatrix write-up on rattling in short shifters?

in summery, doesnt it say that some will rattle and some wont and that they have no explanation for why?



or is my memory failing me?

Yes and yes, I am offering some potential insight as to the tollerence of the prduct and a possible reason that it may rattle.



Mine however doesnt rattle.



Basically I am bitching because I had to grind on my new short shifter.

so you ground your knob

Dude I recommend the C's short shifter to you all, its awsome.
