Have you been reinstalling your shifter yourself? Or have a shop do it for you? |

Drove around a bit with the newly greased and soundproofed shifter and I can definitely say that the NVH is dramatically improved. You should try it.

So the main thing would be the greasing? You didn't add any rubber to the mounting right? Just some dynamat around the area.

Yes but and its a big but, I put some dynamat on the shifter on strategic places where it wouldn’t interfere with the shifting. Like small pieces and stuck them on. Looks ghetto fab but man o man is it better. Cool thing is that you can still take it off if you would sell the item. That with the grease and some foam sound deadening material in empty cavities of the shifter and feels somewhat like a normal car now.

Hey guys!
Sorry for the late reply but the pandemic and kids and work really keep you busy! Especially from driving the car! Anyways, I added dynamat pieces to almost all parts of the shifter that is not impacted by moving parts or visibly seen. It looks super ugly, but it did help dampen the noise. Literally like 1 inch long by 1/4inch strips all over the beautiful shifter assembly. I'll try and take a picture when I have time, but who knows when my wife will let me go out and play in the garage. Lastly, I think the most impact in noise abatement was using spray white lithium grease on the shifter joints and inside the rubber boot. A lot of my noise was rod noise and small, rattly noise when accelerating and this was just the metal on metal micromovements which greasing took away. My installer did not grease the shifter as stated in the instruction manual and that really helped in the noise. Like I said in my post above, you really have to close all the windows to hear any noise, but now it even bareable with the windows up. Oh and I also stuffed sound foam inside the shifter tunnel which probably helped as well, but it was mainly the grease and the dynamat which reduced the overall NVH. |

No I never got around to it. I have Rogue Engineering monoballs and the shifter just sitting in storage because I don't drive the car. I've put on ~1000km since Nov till now. And now I am thinking of getting rid of the car cause we are looking to upgrade our house. To get a bigger mortgage I'll need to get rid of the payment. The car payment buys me something around extra $350k of mortgage at the current rates. Might mean the difference of buying a duplex vs buying an actual house around here. I still really want to drive the car with the shifter. Maybe in my next life |

After much consideration I finally broke down and purchased a CAE shifter. After reading both about the issues and potential solutions with/for the increased NVH, I decided on a plan. I purchased a few sheets of Dynamat XTreme and plan on using it not only to cover key areas on the shifter itself, but also as a rubberized gasket material on both the upper and lower mounting plates. My hope is that it dampens some of the vibration likely caused by the metal to metal mounting, along with reducing some of the reverberation on the shifter itself. More to come once it finally arrives. |

Shifter came in over the weekend, so I spent some time applying dynamat to select areas. I'm planning on installing it this Saturday, so I'll likely follow up with some installation pics and a quasi-DYI once it's all said and done in a separate thread.
For now though, here's some pre-install prep work:
