I'm switching back to my stock shifter in preparation for perhaps maybe trading the car in on something new. The old gasket is all torn up and useless. I haven't been able to find a specific gasket for this, so I figured I'd get some gasket material and make my own. Summit has cork, compressed, and fiber. Which of those three should I go for? They all seem to be for sealing, but what I really want is something to quiet it down, the B&M on there now makes all sorts of racket, I don't want to have the same on the stock because it has no gasket or a poor choice one.

I would try to get some cellular urethane as a first choice if noise reduction is your main concern. Neoprene and silicone also make for some good gasket materials. Cork would most surely creep over time, as would most air-filled gaskets, so a good compromise may be the neoprene. You can buy sheets of this at www.mcmaster.com.
