Glad I’m not the only one having rattles with the billetworkz short shifter.

I haven’t had time to look, but I think it may be with c-clip and washer that connects the shifter that’s causing my rattling. Again I haven’t had time to look. It drives me nuts and the car feels sluggish when it makes that rattling sound.

I did email billetworkz about the issue and he said he was going to send me some plastic washers since he mentioned it might be that part that’s rattling (reverse lockout plate). I never recieved anything by in the mail and I didn’t bother to email him back yet.

I still think it’s the c clip part since when I reinstalled mine the washer was slightly bent and the c clip wasn’t on there tight.

Kind of reviving this thread...but I emailed Billetworkz last week and told them about how it rattles. They changed their design of the shifters so if you purchased them before xx/xx/xxxx date (can't confirm as they didn't tell me when they did change it) then you have the old model. But they are shipping me a new one in the new model to help eliminate the rattle. Will update when it arrives and gets put on.

They just sent you the new one? I was one of the first people that ordered. I’ve been bugging them for a while and pretty much stopped hearing back from them.. I pretty much just gave up.

Definitely interested to see if this “new” design still rattles.

Thanks for updating.

This is exactly what I suspected it was rattling on mine. I figured it was the c-clip being loose.

I’m try reaching out to billetworkz and see if I can get an updated one also.

I bought replacement washers and retaining clip, but never got to installing it.
Not good hearing it didn't work for you guys either.

Whenever my shifter begins to rattle, I let off throttle a little and then get back on it, which seems to help.
Kind of sucks when your doing a WOT pull though.

Have any of you guys returned back to stock shifter and still see if it rattles (w/ stock shifter)?
I'm thinking of giving this a try, cause the rattle really kills the driving experience.

I wanted to upload a video of this rattle for you all so we could compare the sound and scenario in order to identify if we’re all experiencing the same situation. Let me know if this is the sound you all are hearing. I’m new to forums so I’ve uploaded the video to my Mt biking YouTube channel. Hopefully this link works for you. Please turn you volume up as it’s a little quiet. Thanks.
