Why does my shift lever sound like Rice Crispies in milk??
 

When pushing the lever into gears 1,3,and 5 it makes a faint to prominant sound like Rice Crispies. Kinda snaps, crackles, and pops the same way... Weird??? haven't noticed it until today. Any takes on this???

see if the top needs to be rebuilt the bushing pack in the shifter

while this thread is here, mine seems to vibrate at certain rpms ... just started a couple weeks ago

mine does the rice krispies thing. i took the top cover off with 3 torx and put vaseline on the nylon bushings, its starting to do it again though

right below 2000 is where it happens

Mine has always vibrated in 3rd gear. It's the only one that rattles. I found out years back that this was very common. Just another great Ranger issue that's just one of those things.
