x metal shifter is LOUD

[Dom426]

is it just mine or are all these shifters extremely loud? i think it the second to newest one other than that the thing is sweet maybe i need t retorque it! any thoughts?

 

[Black1]

Nope.... They are just loud.... It's all metal in there (no nylon and shit)....

It is transferring the harmonics coming from the transmission to the cab. It's the price you have to pay for ultimate performance. :burnout:

Wrap the base under the boot with some sound absorbing material and stuff some foam around the joint where the tranny meets the floor . It will help

I just put on Boomers Jedi shift lever...it comes with plastic washers...and reduced the sound from the Gen IV shifter by 80 or 90%...call Boomer.

you can find those washers at autozone pep boys and the like or a body shop would have some they would probably give you.

so, the metal flat washers that come with the gen4 -- replace them with nylon ones, will make that much difference ??:dontknow:

thanks.

I took some windshield urethane a made a 3/32" layer across the face of the shift handle where it meets the shifter itself, let it dry overnight and bolt it back together. It shut it right up.

Did not try just changing the washers...the Jedi lever is so sweet there was no doubt in my mind that it was going to be the lever for me...so it went on and I never looked back...

if you have one of our later shifters with the Jedi lever, it should have composite washers that go between the shift arm, and the shifter base's arm, and composite washers under the steel washers for the bottom 2 bolts.
so it goes: bolt, steel washer, composite washer, then lever, composite washer, shifter base arm.
with it setup right, you wont hardly have any harmonics at all.
also change the stock tranny fluid to either redline or royal purple synthetic 75w90. DO NOT use ATF

 

[Marc T]

Boomer, when you say Do Not Use ATF, are you saying that because of Harmonics or that you feel the Redline is a better choice all together??:dontknow:

Did you remember to pull your ear plugs Roy??

 

[Prof]

Some times I put in my hearing aids and forget to turn them on...now that really gets in the way of understanding! And sometimes I just turn them off to be sure that I don't hear some of the normal BS that flies around.
