Message	this is the shifter that was sold on Nissans courtesyparts.com it the same design as Stillens and ??C's?? It uses a metal ball bearing pivot joint(which i believe was causes the rattle). The rattle is pretty annoying. If I could go back i'd go with one of those shifter that is made from a stock unit, then modifed my moving the ball pivot. NA dynoed 207 RWHP 185.2 RWTQ & 14.668 QT TT dynoed 340 rwhp 361rwtq
