Official summary

This bulletin announces availability of a revised 6mt shifter lever and an enhancement to the reverse pull collar assembly designed to improve the operation of the reverse selection mechanism. In addition, this new assembly will eliminate a rattle sound from the shifter which may occur primarily in 3rd gear between 3500 and 6000 rpm. While the rattle condition is most oticeable in the listed gear and rpm range, it may in rare cases be noticeable under other conditions.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
