No, but maybe rebuild your existing shifter handle? https://www.cjponyparts.com/shifter-rebuild-kit-4-speed-1965-1968/p/HW1622/

 

My repro shifter handle came with a plastic sleeve that fits between the shifter handle and the metal lock out sliding sleeve that eliminates the rattle.

I had an original that drove me crazy also. I tried adding o rings wrapping a rubber band around it etc. nothing worked other than me holding onto the shifter while I was driving. Finally I saw a repro at a swap meet with the sleeve in it that solved the problem.

Can’t tell if the one in your link has the sleeve or not.

My handle has already been rebuilt. This is an internal rattle to do with the lockout. Very annoying!

Do you have a source for the repro handle you are using? The one I linked above is a Scott Drake part. Other descriptions online say it includes the lock out with cable etc.

Sorry I don’t as I bought it used at a swap meet from an individual some years back.

I know the sleeve is a skinnier version of the metal lock out sleeve and has slots on each side so it moves up and down with the metal sleeve when you pull up on the t bar. It’s designed to fit inside the outer metal sleeve and around the handle with the t bar sliding through it. It has a small lip around the top that rides up and down on the top edge of the metal sleeve and fits tight enough to eliminate the rattle altogether. I just assumed this was one of those design improvements in the reproduction market and all the repro handles came this way.

Maybe someone with a 3d printer could design something that would just slide into the sleeve so the t bar would not have to be removed to install it. Just thinking out loud.

 

A strip of cardboard from something like a cereal box pushed under the sleeve will stop the rattling…. Jim Kramer

 

I wrapped a bit of electrical tape around the shaft under the pull up sleeve. Works just fine. Brian

 

Thanks guys I will try these methods first.

 

My car has the same rattle on the shifter. I was thinking about making a shim out of a plastic milk jug and sliding it between the shaft and the lockout.

 

Well, I tried electrical tape today. It appears there are two little collars at either end of the lock out T handle sleeve which have a plastic ring around them. These collars slip in and out of the T handle sleeve and separate from it. I believe these are what is causing the rattle. I assume they are supposed to he at one with the T handle?

How does the shift knob come off? I was hoping to take it off and slide off the T handle so I can try gluing the little collars into either end and then wrap the shaft beneath with tape.

Should just unscrew. That's how mine works. Grab it and lefty loosey

 

first loosen the lock nut.

 

Take the shifter ball off, and put an "O" ring on the top part of the handle, re-install the ball.

 

I had a go at twisting off my gear knob today to no avail. She’s on very tight. I don’t know how someone managed that!

 

There is a lock nut under the ball.
even if you get the ball off the T and sleeve wont come out as the cable inside is holding it

 

The OEM 4-speed lever had a T handle (68 had a mushroom) mounted on a nylon bushing to prevent rattles. For whatever reason, the nylon breaks up and goes away. I have had success wrapping a piece of nylon sheet around the lever and forcing it into the gap.

New levers, of course, come with the bushing.

 

Here is a pic of my shift lever. Sorry about the bad quality. Is this how a 66 4 speed should be? I believe the top loader in my car is from a later model.

Im guessing you used a 1mm thick nylon sheet to be able to fit it in there?

 

Electric tape wrapped around the shifter stalk at the reverse pull up 'T'. Stopped the rattle on my stock shifter. Brian
