Rattle around gear lever when downshifting into 2nd

[IainD90]

Hi all,

I get that this car will rattle from engine vibrations and it's basically unavoidable. I've got a nasty one that seems to be coming from the shift boot area, and is only audible when downshifting into 2nd gear. Downshifting into 3rd gear at the same RPMs doesn't produce the noise - only 2nd. It's definitely more of a rattle than a typical buzz you'd hear around the dash at certain revs. Any idea? I'll record a video next time I'm out with it and post it here.

Edit: Not necessarily at higher RPMs - it will make the noise when rev matching around 3k, and as high as 5k.

Mine does a similar thing in second, a slight vibration at lower rpms.

Look in Autofanatic's Youtube channel. He has a good video on fixing the shifter rattle.
