Rattling from pro 5.0 under acceleration

[Milenko]

Only happens under hard acceleration, but the noise is starting to get to me. I bought the car with the pro 5.0 already installed, so I haven't taken it apart yet.

Is there anything specific I should look for/tighten when I take it apart?

Does it sound like pre detonation? Try using high octane fuel and see if it goes away. If you allready are, try backing your timing off a bit.

i dont see what would be causing detontation..i would suggest looking at the safety stop screws are any parts like that , which could possible come loose...hopefully its just the shifter

Oops!! Just reread the thread, my mistake.

Yeah it's not detonation. The sound stops when I put my hand on the shifter.

take off the shift boot and check the two bolts holding the shift handle on the shifter

Mine does it also..due to the lack of bushings where the handle screws to the shifter base.It picks up vibrations like a mf.
The factory bushings can be used or call Pro50.They will advise. I like the way it shifts..so I'm leaving it alone.But it is correctable.HTH
