[Mg-t] TD shifter rattle

[Lew Palmer]

I know it sounds strange but check the timing on the engine. I've seen
numerous cases where the timing is too far advanced and the shifter starts
rattling, particularly on hard acceleration.

Cheers,
Lew Palmer

My TD shift lever all of the sudden started rattling/banging on hard
acceleration.  Could weak springs on the balls cause this?  I read somewhere
where the brass piece the shift lever fits into can wear and cause this but
I
would think I would feel that moving the shifter.  Holding the shifter
doesn't
stop the problem.
