B&M shifter ?'s....

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Is anyone else's B&M shifter noisy? Mine shifts great but its a bit noisey. There's no ball on it so the ball isn't rattling but I can hear most tranny noises still. (the gears whirring and such)

Did you put the foam padding back on the transmission??

 

[Tork_MoNsTeR]

Follow the instructions in the thread just the way they are written, and all the noise will be gone.

Well between the shifter and the MBRP 4" exhaust... It gets a bit more noisy than I like. It just sounds like its not right with the shifter noise...... ill just get them to drop their panties in other ways....

Yes, $20 plus you cover all shipping costs.

Yup, mine does the exact same thing. I figured the noise is vibration from the trans resonating thorugh the shifter assembly. Mine gets worse the more the trans is loaded or under load, i.e. applied torque. And you can hear a constant noise (hum or whine) while cruising, say 6th gear, 65 mph. The fix mentioned in the attached thread earlier basically isolates the shifter handle from the base assembly (that attaches to the trans). Also, look at the Hurst shifter. They used a fairly stout rubber and steel bracket set up to isolate vibration resonance from the trans.

Where did you get the pistol grip from? It screwed on to the shifter shaft? All I've seen is whole handles like I have from Gunslinger Automotive...
