My new JTSVP shifter started squeaking, Any solution for it?
Needs a shot of spritz
Thanks guys. Will work on it tomorrow
I'll look into getting coated bolts caveman, and to stop the rattle I am looking at doing a buffer in between the lever and the shaft, just a small piece of rubber insulator usually will stop the rattle, It seems its about 50/50, some will have a rattle , and some are quiet as a mouse.
The rattle really doesn't bother me, Tony. If it did, I would do exactly like you said and put a small piece of rubber between the shifter handles. I actually removed the rubber dampener on my factory shifter before I got yours.
Coated bolts are a great idea!
Ok, i have to dust that thread off. I'm not sure anymore if the squeak comes from the shifter. The noise starts usually within about 15 minutes of driving when the gear box gets hot. It shifts with no problems but it squeaks basically between every gear and shifting feels kind of "softer", like something is getting loose. And then, when the truck cools down the squeak is gone and the shifter "feels" like the day i installed it. Please give me some answers before i go somewhere and ask to drop the transmission down.

Make a video of the sound. That will help us narrow it down.
Did you get a chance to check the rubber dust boot yet? Thought we had a good hunch on this
