CMCVette Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 When my SGT is cold, i get a loud, harsh rattling noise when revving from ~ 1krpm from 1st to 2nd shifts - sounds like behind/below the center stack & it's really annoying! Pretty much stops when warmed up, though - the car's only got 600 miles on it, so wondering if this is something that may cease on its own, or if I should get it checked. Anyone have this or got suggestions for etiology/solution? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCGT500 Posted November 25, 2007 Report Share Posted November 25, 2007 Are you talking underneath? Could it be a heat shield for the exhaust rattling til it warms up? This is common on some cars, usually you can tweak/bend to fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SHELBY GT Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 Mine would make a funky noise similar to yours,Never found it,But I figured if it was bad enough it would find me!Honestly there are at least two TSB's on this,One has to do with the exhaust to crossmember mounts,Don't remember other one.But mine would come and go regardless of temp,Yours almost sounds like shifter bolts or piston slap.hard to tell without hearing it.

wbaect Posted November 26, 2007 Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I have some minor shifter rattling a the same RPMs. It really doesn't bother me much, and if I reach down and hold the shifter it pretty much goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMCVette Posted November 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2007 Thanks for the input - I'll have 'em check the heat shields & other parts in that area when I get the oil changed & see if they can find anything. It's not major, but not minor, either, ie the shifter does make a tiny noise @ about 1100 rpm but this is something in or below the center stack as far as i can tell.... by the way, is there a link for TSBs on here somewhere?

Don't mean to Hijack the post, but I just hate the shift rattles. I have heard of several problems it could be such as loose linkage?

I think they checked the linkage but found the problem to be in the mechanism under the boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
