Post Aftermarket shift *****..has anyone found a fix yet?

Well after going to my Momo shift **** I get all the extra vibrations and noise that everyone else seems to get as well when they switch. But has anyone found a way to use aftermarket ***** and not get all that vibration? As much as I like the **** I've been using I'm about ready to go back to the stock one because the vibration and noise I get with this one is starting to get annoying.

Anyone have any ideas on reducing that stuff?

Check out <a href="http://www.ovationracing.com" target="_blank">www.ovationracing.com</a> - run by a member of the swedish 944-board (www.944sverige.com).

It's actually a shortshift kit that is made for aftermarket *****.

All prices in swedish kronor (SEK).
One dollar is 7,7 SEK.

Knopp + shortshift + damask 1459:- (spara 278:-)
Knopp + shortshift 1095:- (spara 243:-)
Knopp + 911 damask 1039:- (spara 99:-)
Damask 944 399:-
Damask 911 499:-
Knopp 639:-
Shortshiftkit 699:-

That does look great, but is there a fix for those of us in the states?

The vibration that comes through is one of the reasons that I have not gone to an aftermarket **** yet.....

I bought a short black generic leather ****. It came with several sized black plastic threaded adapters. They are 7/16 on the outside which the **** screws onto and various sizes on the inside. (I had already cut my shifter about 1.5" shorter)
I took the plastic adapter that was slightly smaller than the shifter and hammered it on. Now the **** screws onto the plastic piece. Its fits tight with no vibration.

No vibration with mine. Did you guys install the rubber slip inside of the ****?
