For what it's worth, I've discovered that the rattle that seems to annoy everyone in the Jeep except for me comes from my ring. When I hold the shifter loosely, and it shakes a bit, it hits the ring on my finger and makes for a nice rattling noise.
I guess, yes, my shifter shakes a bit as well, more violently off road than on. So far no problems, has been so on other vehicles as well, but not as pronounced. I guess it's normal, but I never put too much thought into it.

well mine is not from a ring but its not really that big a deal. no major problems i was just making shure it wasnt damaging. Still dont know about this shift knob indicator. "Where the speeds are?" From that quote im thinking somewhere near the speedometer but its a manual and there no indicators telling me what gear im in. Still new so please bear with me.

I think he was referring to the top of your shift knob that shows the gear pattern. My shifter shakes as well depending on what I'm traveling over. I think a fair amount of shaking is normal.

my shifter itself rattles as soon as i hit rough terrain...i am wondering if by changing the transmission mount to a polyurethane mount will it be more tighter and rattle less...any thoughts on this?my tj 's five speed did not rattle as much ,but we are talking about a whole different breed with the jk...
