While  the pin was out of the coupler, I replaced the square plastic pieces
and  they were only slightly tighter that the OE coupler pieces.  I  
figured,
while I was in there, I might as well replace them.  So,  maybe I should put
the old ones back in?




You could try it, and see if the rattle goes away. The rubber on the new  
one might be different, causing the rattle. If it still does it, then you can 
 put the new parts back in. The point I'm trying to get at is, is it the  
rubber coupler pads? Or is it something inside the trans, sending it's 
harmonics  up the shifter shaft. By putting the old parts back in, it'll let you 
know one  way or the other.
