F.D. Sako said:I think the problem may actually be where the bracket makes contact with the bottom of the shifter assembly.
either take the bracket off and cut out a piece of gasket and put it in between, or put some RTV, if you want to go the messy way.
The circled area, does the shifter assembly make contact with the shifter?
Agree. Vibration is being transferred through the mount and padding of some sort may reduce the transfer.
My point was that I have experienced vibration being transferred from the cross member to a drive shaft loop which mounts exactly as the BF bracket does. It was hard to diagnose sine the vibration was not constant. Load on the mount caused deflection which brought the bracket from the loop into contact with the cross member. If this is the case, relieving the bracket, cross member or shimming out the bracket may eliminate the problem.
I believe we are attacking the same problem from different directions, literally. Stop the vibration at the point of transfer either at the trans mount and or cross member area or where the adapter attaches to the bracket.
Thoughts???
