I'm looking for a little advice on a shifter I just picked up. Its a new bugpack T handle shifter, I was searching for something nice that I could afford because I have already had a couple empi shifters break on me. After reading some reviews I found out that the bugpack one are made side by side with bergs and the quality is really good. So after some research I decided to spend the money it instead of a berg because im poor but still want quality parts. Well enough back story, when I bought the shifter I put in a new coupler bushing as well as the shift rod bushing so everything would perform right and it shifts great as well as having just the right amount of throw. The problem im having is it rattles Like crazy. I have checked everything i can think of but its seems like the ball is just to small. any other Idea's ?

I really like this shifter, I have one in every VW I own and have had no problems. You might have a bad shift rod.

I thought it may be possible that the shift rods socket is worn so much that it's causing to much play but none of the other shifters I've had in this car did that. I guess I should contact bugpack and see what they say because it's a great shifter and I don't want to give up on it. By the way I saw your sons car both at nicks burgers and drag day and I must say that thing is bad a$$. My car is the same color and I hope it comes out that nice some day.
