Help with Hurst Shifter?

I did the same. I cut the top part of the hurst boot and secured it to the floor, then put a leather boot over that. It muffled it pretty good.
Take some of the rubber boot that comes with it and cut it into a gasket. Put two holes in it for the bolts and sandwich it between the shifter rod and the main unit. This will dampen some of it.
I still don't quite understand where the noise comes from. I suspect it may be hitting/vibrating against the adjustment stop screw in the back of the unit.
Anyone else have an opinion? It seems like the noise went away after a while. Either that or I got used to it.

The "snake" was terry cloth wrapped in high heat tape. That was the main sound absorbing material, as the ring really just took the heat.
I also put Dynamat under the floor console, which did a lot to contain most of the noise. Even with all of that, the gear mesh noises will still radiate up through the shift arm. No way of deadening that, as it is physically coupled to the tranny. The Hurst rubber plates didn't help, and only fell apart from the heat.
You may notice that I use the word "heat" alot. That was ultimatley the reason I removed the Hurst. There was way too much heat radiating out of the shift cup for my tastes. Given that the Ranger has no seperate turret oil, I was worried about my transmission.
