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


Sounds like a personal issue. ....I know, that was a stretch.



Anyways, mine only rattles at certain high rpms, but I can make it stop by applying pressure to the shifter. Sucks that you had to grind yours to make it fit. Mine shifted really notchy at first*, but seemed to break in after a week or so.

*I typically shift into first while still rolling backwards, and I couldn't get it in first unless the car was absolutely still.

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.




NO ****, i had that same prooblem then i spoke to some guy at KD rotary in PA, he said do that same ****, and it works fine now https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/happy.png
