Found the source of my "Marbles in a blender" sound

I was getting an odd noise at around 6-8k RPMs, and it made a sound similar to faint grinding noise. Turns out, the top part of the shifting **** was vibrating at higher RPMs (I think it's an after-market ****).

Not sure if anyone else ran into something similar, but it might be looking into as a possible source of strange noises at high RPMs.

I had a marble sound. but it was coming from the engine.
Took it to the dealership and had them hook it up.. The intake manifold and some other aux value was shot. Thank GOD for the extended warranty
