(Fig. 15) The vibration or rattle sound may be caused by possible shifter cable contact or a cable routing concern.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: center;\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19352\" src=\"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/F15-shifter-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" \/><strong>Fig. 15<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the noise has been confirmed, inspect the shifter cable for possible contact with surrounding components.

Do not add foam tape to the large round dampening weight on the cable as this could make the condition more noticeable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information, refer to #PIP6029.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em>Thanks to Bill Alley<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There may be a vibration felt in the shift lever assembly or a rattle or tapping sound heard near the instrument panel or center console on some 2020-2023 Encore GX [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-2024-december-b"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19355"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19355\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19377,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19355\/revisions\/19377"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gm-techlink.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
