WELCOME TO THE FORUM!! sorry about the caps, its a hazard of working with excel....

If your shift nob is of the replacement type ..they have been known to rattle with a sort of a buzzing noise. Could also be the shifter bushing is worn or missing. This would be evident with a rather sloppy shifter.

The nylon bush at the tranny end of the shift lever is the most likely culprit.
 
Welcome, where in Canada?
 
If the car is a 68 or newer MGB there is also a anti rattle spring and plunger located at the shifter ball. Many are missing and need to be fitted. Also I agree with the aftermarket shift knob and nylon bushing issues. Bob

Still far away, :frown: I am in Toronto. Do you come to Bronte for British car Days?

Welcome aboard! My MGB came from your area, bought it about a year ago.
