...just installed the ripper...and well....

[Runnin-SAtown]

well it has whined (yes you read it right whined) since i have put it in. anyone wanna take a crack at this one? i have scratched my head enough on this one.

What's it sound like? When does it do it?

[black98V6]

one of the side effects of a stiffer shifter, you get more transmission/driveline noise transmitted up through it. it might subside or you will get used to it over time..

[Runnin-SAtown]

it sounds like a buzzing like black98 said, i think it may be vibration coming from the tranny itself. it sounds alot like there is a tiny gap of somekind somewhere and its bouncing rappidly, there is no actual physical movement just vibration.... any way to stop it?

whining, buzzing, same thing [img]tongue.gif[/img]

mine does the same. my stock shifter and knob did the same especially after i put the poly trans mount in. when i got the stiffer shifter it got worse, but i don't even notice it now.

to make it really bad, i have to push down in the shifter knob, but how often do you really do that?

[ianwells100]

possibly, if its a quick slight buzzing, it may be a damaged 'cup' bit that the shifter ****s in... (dont start, i just woke up ;) )... so u may wanna relace it (cheap part) if that is infact the noise u refer to... if u didnt put any grease on that bit as well, it may be that

[Runnin-SAtown]

ya, that cup might be it, and im gunna try the grease. and the Poly tranny mount is next so i might as well get used to it. but ya, it does get worse when i push down on it. ima try those and see where i stand after that. im going by the parts store this thursday... blinker bulb went out... so i'll see if i can pick up that lil plastic cup thingy there.

Did you put a layer of RTV between the shifter and the transmission?

I have a ripper, RTV applied and I greased the little white cup too, and I still get a buzzing sound. I just turn the radio up and it goes away.
