High RPM vibration all gears - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

When I drove Ryans car the first thing I noticed was that the shifter nob was just free spining loose badley. And the set screw wasn't in the little seat on the reverse lockout pin so it was just sliding up and down freely. So the first thing I did was take the aluminum tee and put it on the driveway and give it a couple of whacks with a small hammer to make it a little wider so it would wedge itself nicley into the groove. Then a fixed and tightened the set screw in the reverse lockout. So with those two issuse fixed we took it for another spin. Much quieter. He still needs to lip the shifter boot up over the plastic piece right under the reverse lockout. So I said ok just take it up to 7k and I'll squeeze my hand around the loose shifter boot piece and it was totally quiet then. Ryan still thinks that there's a little to much vibration coming through the shifter. I tend to think the amount is normal. At 7k there's gonna be a little bit of vibration just from the engine revs and the transmission gears. But his Cbeam bolts are not loose. They are fine. I guess when I get new tires for mine Ill take it up to 7k and compare the amount of vibration I get to his.
