5spd stick rattles in 5th

When I have the car in 5th and i am on the freeway,the stick vibrates doing around 50-70. I have a b&m shifter on it,but lately it started vibrating in 5th gear only. I looked under the car and nothing is touching the linkage. I removed the catalytic shield and it is not rubbing.Anyone have any ideas?

does it rattle with bumps or from engine vibration? Mine moves a little over bumps. Is it supposed to do that?

it only rattles or more like buzzes in 5th gear only. Any other time it is fine.

IIRC in the B&M instructions they call it a "return weight" that is made of rubber on our shift assembly. You can try replacing that. It is directly behind the bottom part of the shift stick. Mine had cracking all throughout it, ordered and installed a new one and the stick vibration in every gear was definitely reduced. I believe it was like 30 bucks and you can get it from Dave Burnette @ SouthPoint Nissan at 888-254-6060. Worth a shot!
