I dont know if its always been like that or if it just started but Ive been hearing a strange noise down below the shifter. The best way to describe it is like a coin ratteling up agnest a peice of metal (vibrating). It could actually be that since we did have the console off installing some autometer guages. I was thinking it was either that or comming from the clutch or transmission. Both work fine, it shifts into gear w/ out any problems and the transmission seems fine. Its not the regular "whine" you hear from the transmision you hear after installing a short throw shifter. If anything I hope its the clutch since Im buying a Spec II later today. Any Ideas on what it could be??? :shrug:
 
There is a metal plate that is connected to the wire loom that goes up to the pass side firewall to the module. I guess its for keeping the loom off of the trans but I'm not sure. I had the same problem after the Tremec install and figured it out last week when I pulled the motor. After I saw it there and moved it around I knew that was exactly the noise. It would make a rattling sound at idle.
