They rattle at high and low speeds. It's the counter weight on the shaft that rattles. I removed the retaining ring, pulled out the counter weight, applied RTV around, re-installed, let it dry and all gone Hope that helps.

Thank you very much for your input! This is the way to fix the rattling issue.

Some people have told me it rattles while others have said it doesn't rattle. It's really a hit or miss, but even B&M shifters have the same rattling issue.

Your welcome! it really is a hit or miss but eventually I think the rattle is going to happen regardless of what brand.

You guys are an awesome shop BTW!
