Shifter Rattle??

[cccccc]

i have an annoying rattle coming from my shifter and i think it is the dampener at the base of the shifter. i does not rattle much at low rpms but when the revs climb higher the rattle gets louder and louder the faster i go it is very annoying and some times louder then my exhaust tone will the bushing be bad it sound like it is in pieces and i might need a new one. can i use the one they sell for 83 to 93 mustangs? the black rubber bushing?

Check............

...........take a look at it maybe........Rattle prolly a common issue with high mileage/hard shifting maybe.......

The rattle is caused by general wear of the "cup bushing" that the shifter ball resides. You can get a replacement from 50Resto for about $6. Or you can do a temporary fix bt shimmings the ID of the bushing.

Could be the rubber insulator that goes on the shifter bottom E4ZZ-7246A, I have one if you need it.

could be shift linkage

I had the same problem about a week ago. I just tightened up the shift linkage and the problem was solved

good luck
