Hurst install

Just installed my Hurst shifter in my 07 the other day and it rattles under heavy acceleration in low gears. Mostly 1st/2nd. Pretty annoying. Huge improvement over the stock shifter though. I tightend all bolts fairly tight, doubt anything is loose. Ideas?

Gear whine = awesome
The rattle happens when I floor it in 1st and 2nd. It sounds like something is loose but I dont know what it could be. I torqued all bolts down to roughtly 50-80ft-lbs. Should I tighten more? The bolts on the back of the shifter (under the car) and pretty small I didnt want to over towque them. They were a 5/16ths or something tiny like that.

Do these require a break in + retightening?

I have one in my car and I installed one in my buddys car with no rattles. Not sure... Maybe its just stiff give it a few and see if it goes away if not go back in and retighten everything. I am going underway tommorow will check this thread when I get back
