Tri AX installed but it rattles

shortbus · Aug 27, 2005

I installed the steeda tri ax last night and took het for a test spin at 2am. I immediately noticed that when engine braking in third gear the damn thing rattled like hell. If I grabbed the shifter the rattle would stop. So this morning I pulled the boot off and made sure the shifter wasn't rubbing the stop bolts, it wasn't. Since I had to pull it all back apart to put the boot on I went ahead and installed the plastic washer against the brass fittings between the shift rod and the shifter. It doesn't rattle as bad noww but I think the rattle is coming from the factory shift knob. Has anyone experienced this?

What aftermarket shift knobs work with the triax and fit well with the shift boot?

Call Steeda, tell them your problem and they will send you free of charge a small rubber piece that goes between the actual handle that you bolted on and the handle thats in the base ( between the two bolts) I did have the same prob, called them and got the fix and havent heard a peep since ;-)

Sorry for the 2nd message but its NOT coming from the handle....I thought so too just listening to it....as far as the shift knob ...the steeda one looks great , and you can find it for around 50.00

I have one black rubber spacer between the shifter and the knob arm. The instructions said one or two could be used but mine only came with one.

Cut a thin piece of rubber gasket material and put it between the shifter handle bolts. It will quiet it down significantly.
