so my 2007 hawk sti has a rattling/vibrating gear-stick and its driving me crazy.
its like a metallic sound and under the **** there is a round metal piece which is loose and spins around im pretty sure its that. it sounds like a thousand bee's stuck in it. any ideas how i can fix it? is it a common issue?
The round plasic piece under the 6MT gear **** is the reverse lock slider **** - item 7 below
This is attached to the shift cable assembly.
The OEM lever has a plastic coating on it where the slider moves up and down and can wear with time until it begins to rattle.
I have changed the reverse uplifter on mine to an anodised one which not only looks great it also feels so much better than the plastic stock one fitted to the car.

thats nice, where did you get that from? is yours a newage 6-speed?

Maybe this helps. Been looking at getting one myself as I‘m getting a rattle when shifting. They don‘t have a uk or european distributor but do ship internationally.
Looks good quality.
The way shrek is describing it sounds like there might be more to it than just a worn reverse lockout slider.

the quality is superb....looks and feels great s I have said
it is recessed so you could paint over or if you have a black one leave it... all down to you once fitted.
must admit though for such a little thing not only does it look good it also makes changing into reverse so much easier as well as it feels strong etc
Yeah, getting black and leaving it as is would probably be the easiest. That‘s what I‘m after get rid of the rattle and make it feel more solid. Thanks for the tips!
I found a simple fix was to spray liberal amounts of white ptfe grease down the lifting mechanism between that and the thread. It sets when it dries and creates a layer which stops the rattles. Simples.

let me know if you need any help when you come to fit it etc

Not yet, mate, been focussing on driving skills and enjoying the car recently but still planning on doing this along with the shifter bushings..should make a nice improvement.
I’ll try and post it up here when I get round to it.
