I went with the Hurst billet shifter. No rattles.

I have the FRPP/Hurst shifter in my '10, PN M7210-GTA. It is a bit pricy at $325.00 but, at the time of ordering it was the only one available for the '10. It looks like a stock shifter on steroids and the bushings are poly insstead of mushy rubber. Performance wise it resembles all of the Hurst shifters...some choose to call it "notchy" but, I like to think of it as "positive gear engagement feedback". You can expect a bit more gear noise from the Tansmission...not a bother for me though, I like that noise! It was a little stiff after installation but, after massaging it for a week or so, it has become a pleasure to use.The ball fits my hand perfectly, doesn't get screaming hot like the metal one (I have the 1-5 shift pattern branded on my right palm) and the lever height is perfect as well; throw is reduced by about 40%.

The Billet/Plus uses a machined base/body and arm, rather than the stamped base, and rod arm on the Competition/Plus. It also has adjustable shift stops. I'm fairly certain the internals are the same, however, giving you the exact same throw as the Comp/Plus as it shares the same handle, ball, and stalk. Here's a picture...

I am running the Pro 5.0 and just love it!

Here's another one from Shelby that is price competetive since they dropped the price to $259. http://www.shelbyperformanceparts.co...205-Speed.aspx

Anyways, I'm not trying to be controversial, just thought I would provide the link and some photos to corroborate my point of view.
