happens when cold or hot and no other rattles that i have noticed.
Definetly comes from the gear lever

Seriously try an elastic band round the lever.  It usually is the pull up bit that rattles, I found a black elastic band which came round the power cable on a mobile phone charger fitted perfectly and is practically invisible. Works a treat.

Tried the elastic band trick and it didn't help. I wonder if I could take the gaitor off and spray the bottom of the gearstick with WD40
