rattling transfer case shifter

Hi,

Yes I checked the FAQ.

My transfer case shifter didn't look like the one in the faq. It has a factory threaded rod and nut to tension the lever.
It also has a plastic bushing that rides on the shaft of the mounting bracket.

I tightened everything up and it still rattles. Any suggestions? I can't find any loose joints or anything.
