I'm somewhat newer to StangNet and thank everyone in advance for any insight. I have a standard 2000 GT and had been hearing an annoying metallic rattling noise coming from my shifter whenever my RPMs would go over 2k. I removed the boot to find a metal ring (looks like a big washer of some sort) around my shifter. It just sits there and rattles from the vibration coming through the shifter. I can't seem to find where it's supposed to be secured, as it can just freely slide up and down. Any ideas on what it's purpose may be? Thanks!

Looks like you've got an aftermarket shifter (the stock one is black & cylindrical) & it may have been one of the washers used below the shift boot on the stock unit. Might have worked its way above the boot from the tear & now it's making noise rubbing against the metal.
