Default some questions

first and foremost, hello. i recently aquired a mustang,an 05 v6 white, 55k mi, with decent looking stockrims. this is my girlfriends car....she took my car an06 mazda 6s (v6)... as a resultof our first born....we didnt want her in the back of a mustang.
well anyway, back to the subject. the mustang is pretty fun, it has a bullet cat-back sounds pretty beefy for a v6, i recently washed/clayed/waxed it, so its pretty clean. however....there are some things that are wrong, and i need help!!!
1-the gear shifter, sometimes it wont go into reverse it takes a second...why???
2-the gear shifter again...but this time its the black plastic that slides with the shifter broke, exposing whatis under therei can superglue the piece back, since it came appart clean...but i need to get that bezel off...how do i accomplish that? is there a diagram somewhere?
3-guess what....the shifter again... but this time the little red indicator stays in the '3rd' gear position... i need that fixed....
4-no, not the shifter, but the dash. it rattles when at a stop light in idle...what is causing that? the sound comes more from the passenger side, mostly when the a/c is on...
5-lights.....has anybody used the silverstars? if so do you like em on the mustang?

that's pretty much it for right now. i do have some plans for it-basically to not make me miss my mazda...im planing on a 7' touch screen to fill the gap, and maybe a nice little sub for some good clean bass....and, of course, some components....
thanks in advance!

well i'm a manual so i can't help you with the auto shifter...

but the rattles can be addressed but you will have to take time to figure out exactly where they're coming from.

and if i'm not mistaken, i belive the headlamps in our cars are silverstars from the factory.

Welcome to MF! I cannot help you with your shifter issues. You possibly could find one for cheap in a junkyard, cuz all of your shifter problems could be related.

You can read all about the shifter here:

Silverstars are not stock on the stang.
They will work better than the stock (brown) headlights.
