I just thought I would share something I came across. I don't know if it's old news here or not but I've never seen it posted.

I found this site stangshiftergaskets.com

yea yea I know it's a mustang dominant site but still I thought I would give it a shot given that on a couple stang sites people swore by these to quiet down noise emitted by the trans through aftermarket shifters.

So I bought JUST the shifter handle gaskets (2 in a set), didn't want to fool with the base gasket. On the site it says they are made of some kind of silicone material. I'm not sure if some other material found locally would do the same or not but I didn't feel like experimenting with it so I clicked buy now for $4 and waited.

Upon opening and installing these things I though well I just wasted $4 since they are relatively thin and don't look like they would do much. But I must say I am very surprised at how much quieter it made my shifter! No more rattling, moaning, groaning heard through the shifter handle now!

I would recommend these to others.

Btw I have a stock hurst shifter with a Lou's short stick.
