Looks good bit of kit after hearing how some people can't stand the cabin noise, is the 'noise/buzzing' that bad? I'm on the lookout for a PMS shifter before I bite the bullet and buy retail lol mine's mainly track car but does get some use on the road/

Mine's a track car but road legal to get to circuits and back , really not much of a problem but would be horrible on a daily, cruising in 5th you have to have a hand on it to shut it up. I'd rather it wasn't there though so if this cures it I'll fit it

 

[StuOwen86]

Yeah same here I drive most of the time too track saves messing about with getting the trailer off my mate. suppose for £27 it's worth a shout.

Bit expensive for a bit of steel and some clamps, but I suppose if it works it is worth it as the rattle drives me mad on the motorway.

Good they are selling it at cost price too ! really nice of them infact.

Got mine today, I'll fit it on Saturday, track day on Sunday so I'll post my findings
It's surprisingly heavy

 

[StuOwen86]

Slower lap times haha too much weight. I have driven mine a handful of times on the road since fitting my PMS shifter and currently the vibrations are not getting on my nerves haha not yet anyway.

 

[maxest]

Just ordered one.. Thanks for the heads up

 

[M.C..]

@MarkX Did it stop the rattle?

don't waste your money on it Unless you want to buy mine lol

What's it weigh?? :wink:

911 grams, f**k that, it's off again :tonguewink:

 

[M.C..]

That's not good, have you let PMS know?

no mate, really unimpressed tbh. It's too big, there's no position on my car where it doesn't either cause vibration or impede a gear change! It needs cut down by about 20mm to work imo, but it's too heavy, bit stupid on a track car I decided.

I'm just getting used to the noise from my shifter. Yes it rattles but so does the window frame

 

[bbracer16v]

I jus amped my front speakers jus done 500miles didn't hear it rattling once

And 911grams nearly a kg on that rod
I don't think I'll bother playing about making my own version up ✋

 

[Turbo steve]

Why would you not want to tell them..... if they dont get the feedback they cannot improve the deisgn

Thread revival about to order the Pms shifter ,but worried about the vibration is the damper worth adding ?

 

[masekwm]

No

 

[ADS_V6]

Good answer

 

[Fletcher]

The PMS shifter 'rattle' doesn't really bother me TBH.

 

[masekwm]

Good answer

You've a car which is compromised by a the RS2 and I guess solid engine mounts, the odd rattle from the shifter is nothing

 

[ADS_V6]

Got zero vibration from vibratechnics but thanks ,i didn't say which car their going on :tongueclosed:

 

[masekwm]

It's french something rattles!

 

[Martin.]

Rattle doesn't bother me either. In fact I don't think I can even notice it when driving, only when reversing when it clucks down off the side ridge.
