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.
