cliff.b Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I have seen repair kits for noisy gear levers on the earlier boxes but not for single rails. Any idea what I need to be replacing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 I think there's a small anti-rattle 'button' at the base of the gear lever; I don't think they're available any more but will look.

I'm not sure. Its not a loud rattle, is that a sizzle🤔 I notice it if I am at a constant speed and if I hold the lever with my hand it goes away until I let go again.

Pete Lewis Posted October 23, 2022 Report Share Posted October 23, 2022 sizzle is a noise generated by fork contacting the sleeves gives a zizzy noise rattle that disapears with a little pressure is more the ranti rattle plunger and spring its often lost if the unknowing removes the stick and it all flies apart the vibrations can collapse the spring pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be added to my Winter "to do" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
