Sounds like shift linkage...hmmmm...however, do you have headers?
Initially, I had a vibration (could be defined as a rattle) that emanated
from the Y-pipe. Proximity of headers and Y-pipe was too close to
transmission housing. Had to unweld, shift, and re-weld.

When the second rattle started I noticed that if I pushed on the shifter
(cant remember if it was to the left or to the right) while I was driving
the rattle went away. I stuck a rag in between the flap of the boot and the
rattle stopped. Haven't taken anything apart yet to see what the cause is
but at least I know the origin.

it?
