|  Pro 5.0 road noise?
Hey guys I just installed the 5.0 pro shifter, its great! But I can hear some road noise coming from the shifter, I can hear the gears a little bit, could it be that I didn't add enough of the gasket maker? Or that I didn't tight the bolts enough, Any help greatly appreciated. |

Mine does it too. I'd rather have the noise than the stock shifter.

i had a little road noise, but i was more worried about the brand new rebuilt t56 when i heard the noise, since i had no idea what it was! Lol, like these guys said-its better than the stock ceiling stick... | |

I got some rubber gasket material from ACE hardware to make a gasket. I had seepage from using just plain old RTV...and when I switched to the Pro 5.0, I made a nice fitting rubber gasket for it. I still used RTV...just alittle smeared around to help seal it more. 800 + miles and no seeping. Also...and I believe this to be related to the rubber gasket, but I have almost no noise.
I cut the boot per the instructions, and thats all I have between the shifter and the leather shift boot up top. When the trans is cold, I can hear some noise while in neutral, but it goes away when in gear, and I can really hear it while moving. My car is pretty loud though (heads, cam, LTs, no cats, magnaflow)...but I dont hear any of the noise that some complain about with the shifter.
But if you can live with the noise, you can atleast feel good knowing that you installed it correctly! Just turn up the radio!

When I did my LSS I got some noise so I bought a 1/8 rubber sheet from the hardware store and cut out a few circles and put them in the knob and another square peice in between the stick where it bolts to the shifter. It quieted it right up.
