Reality: Took about five minutes of interneting, three minutes in garage (mostly spent looking for the right size torx driver), and just two minutes of test driving to confirm the problem. After that, it was tweaking until right.
Set screw for the shift knob. Too loose or too tight leads to the noise.  |
And then the washer pump died.
Debating buying a new one ($22 shipped) and doing it myself or getting it done under warranty when I take the car in next month to get the driver's seat recovered.
