Just installed my GMM and need some help from other ripshift owners out there.
Got the shifter installed with minimal difficulty. However, when I took it out for the test drive, I was getting some louder than desired noises which sounded like grinding at the time to me. Since I KNOW the shifter was seated properly and there is no problem shifting (extremely smooth, nice and tight) I was a bit perplexed.
After driving the goat from OH back down to FL I think I've determined the 'rattle' to be coming from my shift knob due to the vibration from the tranny. Seems I didn't get the notch seated properly back on the shift lever. Have ordered some Dynamat to line the shift lever since I need to take the knob back off anyway to lube the slot and get it seated properly.
My question at the end of this long droning is: When is your shifter making the 'slightly louder than stock' sound a lot of people refer to? During the shift only? Constantly at high RPM? Or just constantly period? My Dynamat arrives Friday and I want to get an idea of what to expect once I pull the knob off and straighten everything out. Thanks for the help guys.....
