Rattle!!!

So everytime I go over a bridge or hit a bump I get this loud annoying rattle. It doesnt come from the door or dash but more like the transmission. I can feel it in the shifter and also on the floor when it gets really loud. The only thing I can think of is maybe the midpipe but I checked it out and everything is like it should be. Anyone else had this problem? It's one of the Hurst short throws

Hmm could be a few things. I remember somone having an issue with their shifter, don't remember who is was, maybe Tony, I believe it was a simple fix.

Let me do some searching

this was tony's issue, more of a rocking than a rattle

Since you have an aftermarket shifter, might check nuts and bolts first and make sure everything is snug.

Could also be a loose motor/transmission mount.

what year mustang? could be the tranny heat guard. its the aluminum surrounding above the tranny.

ok thanks il check the bolts..and its an 06 gt

Stock shifter or aftermarket?

I think he said it was a Hurst in the first thread. just sayin

Sorry missed that. Reason I askedis because my Tri-Ax has positive stops that can make a slight rattling sound if loose. The hurst doesn't have these so I guess that's not the issue.

it soundslike to me that he said that he feels it in the floor pan his exaust (mispelled) hangs to low when i lowered my car 1in it started the same thing if you check the bottem of our pipes you will proply see mark or mabe dents on your pipe

He can feel it in the shifter and the floor. Do the newer mustangs have heat sheilds? Could be a loose heat sheild.

They do.

yea i checked all the nuts and bolts to the shifter and they are tight...i still havent checked the heat shield but il give it a try

My bet would be the heat shield... Does it have a "tinny" sound???

yea and it only happens on bumps...its especially bad on the turnpike and on bridges..it seems to come from between the passenger seat and center console...but where is the heat shield?? Iv seen the shields for the pipes but not for the tranny

well it turned out to be the passenger side exhaust. The pipe had come out of the hanger and everytime i would hit a bump it would rub against the center stack.

Cool. Easy fix!

I had this problem, turned out to be the cat.
