    What is this rattling noise??

    So i had my rear driveshaft off to do my diff seals/rebuild and now I hear this rattle coming from my shifter. Sounds like a paint can rattle...only comes on when I go over a bump at like 30-40mph. Goes away after a few seconds. When I shift gears while its rattling it is still present. What is it???

    Sounds pretty identical to this guy but mine only rattles when I go over a bump.

    Had a smooth purchase transaction with me?

    I think your harmonic balancer is touching the selector rod.

      had it on lift and checked it, nothign out of the ordinary...still has that rattle when going over rough road. It clicks faster as RPM increases, sometimes it clicks/rattles for a second and very soft, other times its louder and clicks for a long time. Driving me nuts
