Ford put a heat shield there for a reason...and we're just going to remove it?? All these rampant transmission/shifter/clutch issues (several of which I've personally experienced) make me more and more ashamed of purchasing this car Not to mention the engine tick! sorry for being a Debbie Downer. Its just depressing

Reviving the thread;
Blowfish Racing has just released the Rev. 2 for the shifter mount to eliminate the rattle some have experienced. The cost of the Rev. 2 part is $40.00 + shipping, but he will give you a $40.000 credit when you install the new piece & ship back the original piece. He has 20 units available now, with more due in next week.

Just placed my order for the retrofit kit, great customer service and very collaborative.
Now I just hope it will resolve the vibration/buzzing issue at high RPM.

The race spec 2 comes out soon. Might wanna hold off. It's gonna be Bluetooth enabled so you can shift via sync.
Pressing button...
"Sync please say a command"
You: ...third gear!!!
Sync: I did not understand you...Say one after the tone for John Mayer, say two after the tone for Queen Latifa, say three after the tone for Pharrel.
You: FML third gear!!!
Sync: Sync has detected a new device...for your safety please stay alert to current traffic and road conditions and use syncs voice activation feature while driving.
You: (calling steeda)... Hi I was calling to see if you had a 11-14 tri-ax shifter in stock? Yes I know it's notchy as ****...when can you ship it?

Received my Rev. 2 Blowfish Racing bracket on Friday & installed Saturday.
Will have to say, it has eliminated the 'rattle' I had experienced with the original mount design. The vibration in the shifter is reduced as well. No changes in the improved shifting the original bracket provided, still a big improvement over stock.
I am running the stock shifter on mine.
Sent the original shifter mounting blocks back to Blowfish, as they will refund you $ 40.00. All it cost me was shipping.
Would recommend the Blowfish Bracket to anyone using the stock or Barton shifters.
The Rev. 2 mounting bracket will not work with the MGW shifter, but very few using it have reported any noise with the Blowfish Bracket.
