Since I had my OEM short shifter installed I've been hearing a rattle from my shifter under harder acceleration. It's a very annoying buzzing sound that goes away when you grab the shift knob. I though it was the shift knob itself because it has that gray washer type thing thats on the bottom of the knob itself. I bought a Prodrive shift knob and the noise got better but it's still there. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions?

I'm not sure about the oem product. With aftermarket shifters like kartboy, this is pretty normal. Try pulling back the boot and trying to see where the noise is coming from. It could be the lever vibrating against the metal plate that holds everything down. If this is the case, a little work with a dremel should fix it. I hope this helps, at least a little.

I pulled it apart and really couldn't see anything. I'll try what you said. Any other suggestions?
