I had that problem with my shifter and then I installed my textralia clutch and the thing hasn't made a peep since. Too bad my Tex lasted only 11 months and now I gotta get something else. I also put Dynomat (sound deadener) all over the base of the shifter and stuff prior to that.

I don't understand. I had a Pro5.0 shifter and my never made anymore noise than hurst. All I did was use a grey RTV gasket maker on the base of the shifter where it mounts to the tranny. My buddy Sswanner has one and he did the same thing and his a quiet also.

Well, I can certainly recommend the rubber shifter gasket from Cobra Bob. My B&M was hardly noisy at all (tolerable), and it is even less noisy now. It didn't get rid of the noise 100%, and it wouldn't be fair to expect that, but I'd say it is 50-75% quieter than before. For $7 and an hour of my time, not bad at all. I'll probably pick up a couple extras just to have around at that price.

Ok well if it quieted 50% of the noise or whistling that's great, but I want all the noise gone. Will dynomat quiet the noise further if I put it on the base of the shifter? Has anyone tryed this?
