Default anyone else have the steeda tri-ax buzz

I tell ya from the rattle in my dash from the hard suspension to the rattle from my clutch pedal on my aluminum clutch quadrant to the buzz sound in 3rd and 4th gear from my steeda tri-ax shifter i have a full on metal on metal orgchestra in my car.

I built the car for autocross and a fun weekend toy but certain situations have come and now have to daily drive my car and cetain flaws start to stick out

I have tighten every nut and bolt on my shifter and it still buzzes is there any short shifter out that does not do this?

AS far as the other rattles one thing at a time, new softer springs are on the way and I really don't know about the clutch quadrant rattling. had a new clutch put in and after 2000 miles it starting doing it.

any other options? or ways to make the tri-ax quieter?

i'm sure its the shift stops buzzing, I wonder if you could put a rubber boot or something between the shift stops and the handle to keep it quiet.

Google cobra bobs shifter gaskets, cheap way that may help some with it. It worked when I had my tri ax on my other car and when I went to mgw on both my cars I put a set on both.

Not sure if this will work but have you tried adjusting the stops a bit. I know they are suppose to be set a little off from where they sit normally. I hope mine doesn't do this, I have a Tri-Ax shifter in my room just waiting for my swap kit to come in so I can put it on but I hope mine doesn't buzz much. Either way, can't wait to try it out.
