Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think Eric has the TIC kit. He has the kartboy shifter, rear stay bushing, Kartboy shifter bushing and rear diff bushings. He mentioned to me that he got it from some other place than TIC. You can only order the TIC shifter bushings from TIC. The TIC kit includes the Kartboy short shifter, rear stay bushing, Kartboy Shifter bushings and the TIC four tiny bushings that install just above the Kartboy shifter bushings. When these are installed you do not get any rattle through your knob because these things do not move. Unless of course the bolts get a little loose like mine did. I tightened them up and it is remarkable. It is those little bushings that make the biggest difference on the shifter feel. When it is in a gear the lever will only move a hair side to side. Scott and Phil both have this exact kit.
Eric if you are getting rattle on the knob or any movement when it is in gear you either do not have the bushings or the bolts that hold them in place are too loose. It is very easy to tell from under the car. Just grab the two way knuckle housing that holds the bushings and give it a shake. If it moves at all, you either have the stock bushings or the bolt need to be tightened (extremo pain in the ass to reach with a wrench)
The extra tranny noise that Eric's car has is probably due to the rear diff bushings and not so much the short shift kit.
