What the heck is this rattling noise? 2020 GT MT82

[Blu_stallion]

Have any MT82 owners ever experienced this rattling noise which seems to be coming from the transmission tunnel area? it’s usually while coasting or using very little throttle in gears 3 - 5 at speeds in the 20 - 50 mph range.. I have an MGW X-spec shift kit but this problem was happening with the stock shifter also. What could be causing this noise? Please help!

Check the emergency brake cable and attaching assembly found under the driver side trans tunnel. This has been a known source of tick/rattle as well and is hard to replicate unless in a certain RPM range. When the cable is loose, it vibrates or raps against the trans tunnel under certain conditions OR could be touching exhaust mid pipe. How to adjust the cable and assembly:

If that was not the source of the noise, then also check:

Check the trans block spacer plate, it’s a common issue across the S550 and F150 platform:

Check the driveshaft center support bearing assembly. There is a small aluminum plate attached to the bottom of it which comes loose and rattles - see this thread:
