Default Shifter rattle

Alright, When you get on the car, and at higher RPMs..the shifter will start to shake really bad. Everything in the tranny is new(only 2000miles) so dont know what the problem is..only notice it at higher rpm's..Everything done to the car is in my sig.

Any idea on what the problem could be?

higher RPM's or higher speeds??? if its happening at high rpm;s AT higher speeds.... I would suspect a U-joint in the driveshaft

Seems more like higher rpm's, like if you were to get on it..If your just cruiseing at higher speeds it has some but not as much as if the RPMs were up there.

check your mounts, and check your harmonic balancer.... as they start to wear out, you will notice more vibrations in the car
