over the weekend, I disassembled my short shifter and added some nylon washers between the linkage and the shifter itself, this still did not fix the rattling.
I then changed my oil and went from a synthetic blend to Mobile 1. The drain plug, oil filter and oil cap were all EXTREMELY tight.. I changed my oil last, makes me think the people who put on my summer tires last week tightened the crap out of them to make it hard for me to change my own oil, in hopes maybe that I'd bring it to them in the future.. it took an hour to get my damn oil filter off ..grr.. i have never had that much trouble.
lastly, i had my rotors turned and I installed my carbotech pads, then bedded them with their bedding procedure (sans racetrack).. my car stops MUCH better now.
