My '74 nylon shifter **** used to rattle a lot. It's the 10mm x 1.25 thread pitch (small style). It went mostly away after screwing it onto a '79 stick.
I'm not sure if this would work, but try gooping some silicone or something up inside it to dampen the vibrations.

well thankfully mines a factory (dubble H pattern logo) with leater look/sports style and it sticks to the stick like glue
probly too good couse its in good condition but the leather shift boot is needed to be remade
anyway all i think is making the **** not fit so good is it might not be the right size to start of with
mazda - metric
america - american impereal
i dont mean tools
i mean it might of been advertised in a botched convertion

I've used them for years, and they don't rattle, or come off.
