Rattle?

[hellecol]

i have this strange rattle and shaking in my shifter whenver i am on lower RPM's on my 1st, 3rd, and 5th gears. it seems like an o-ring type thing is out of place underneath my shift boot, but i dont want to take anything apart unless someone things that might be it. I do have a short shifter and i heard someone saying that alot of times when idiots install those they dont tighten some bolt enough. ill try and get a pic up when i get the chance. any ideas?

could it get loose on a normal shifter too?

on a short shifter the section from the pivot ball to where the linkage mounts is usually longer. this can cause it to hit on the exhaust and cause a vibration. it could also be a heat shield or a million other things,you have to investigate and figure it out.
