Same thing happened to me once on another car (actually a hot little Ford Anglia, so it's stretching the definition of "car" a bit). Swapped to a wooden gear knob and it transmitted so much gear noise I gave it away after a few days.

I read your other post about fitting the SSK, & something about a wider notch than normal? could it be a vibration from that being sent up the shift stick & the different knob weight amplifying the sound?
