Hey guys. I know this is old but I have the same problem or should i say had till today. I put a piece of Dynamat about the size of a baseball card on the outside of the plate behind the oil pan and noticed a %98 improvement. Cost 50 cents. drove the @#!$ out of it no problems. Spend that $400-$500 on something else for the car.
FYI Dynamat if good from -54°C to +149°C (-65°F to +300°F)

Just took mine into the dealer. They replaced the plate and so far so good. Drove it several miles no noise noticeable.
I am nearing the end of the powertrain 5 year warranty so wanted to take advantage of the situation.
Sure hope this did the deal. Raining here today so stuck in the garage.

I can't believe it took me til now to find this thread, but what's the solution for a automatic v6? I have a ridiculous rattle coming from the area under the shifter and haven't found anything that could solve it.
It happens while slowing down, at idle, and accelerating from at the begining of each gear.

Did you put the rubber on the lower small panel that comes off with the two bolts or somehow the one above it between the engine and trans? I think my rattle is coming from the rattle in the plate above the small one held on with the two bolts but I can't figure out how to get up in there to put anything in between.
Thanks,

Well I didn't hear anything in the video but its a very distinct rattle/scraping of metal on metal. Mine I could really only hear with the windows down especially when I drove past a line of cars. Without the windows down I could barely hear it. And for me it happed at the same rpm every time about 2900 and was gone by 3100.
As far as where I put the piece of rubber I will take a pic here in a few days once I get some dynamat as the piece I put in was too skinny and has already fallen out. But I slid it right in-between the separator plate and the edge of oil pan. Once your under there you should be able to see it. Theres about 2 tents of an inch of space inbetween the two.
