| Seems to come from those plastic plates that are staggered and slide around by the shifter. Does anyone else have an issue with rattling sounds coming from their's? Any solutions? I just started doing this a week ago. I'm pretty baffled.  | |

| I think its the spring mechanism that heeps the cup holder lid up. There some play in there, especially in the open position. | |

you may be able to get rid of the noise with a little silicone spray lubricant. Albertj | |

| Thanks for the tips. Giving the silicone spray on a rag a shot first. I don't want any lubricant to get in the console where the shifter is so I'll use it sparingly. Isn't there a shift lock solenoid down there? Don't want that getting dirty. lol | |

actually that's why you lube it with silicone spray. Silicone spray is dielectric and won't hold dirt for beans. I mean, don't drown it but a spritz ought to quiet things -- if you move the plastic plates with your finger you'll find they move about quite a bit while your shifter's at the OD detent. With car parked, unlock shifter & move to drive, then with brakes on/engine off spray some silicone spray on the plastic plates and then move 'em back and forth with your finger to spread the lube around. You should hear a difference while doing so. Hopefully this will work. If not probably Ed Morad has/can get you a console top for short money... | |
