back OT, sounds like a great setup, i've been eyeing the engine and trans mounts for a while now, just havent gotten around to doing it.
You know, right now it's too early to tell about the shifter vibration since I've only had it installed for 4 months ~4200 miles. No vibrations yet.
I've run a few different shifter setups in the past 2.5 years. I started off with the KB SS + bushings and I had the vibration you are talking about. I kept using w/e basic grease you could buy at autozone or wherever and the noise would come back. Then I switched to the Cobb SS, had the same issues. Then I went to stock and of course had no vibrations.
I finally got my hands on another KB SS and when I installed it, I actually bought 2 new o-rings from the dealer (they're like a dollar each) for that little plastic cup thing and then filled the area the plastic cup sits in with White Lightning Lithium Grease. Then dropped the shifter in there, put the c-ring clamp back into place and filled the whole thing to the top with the lithium grease. Then installed that rubber cover thing. I haven't had a vibration since.
