Default Popping sound coming from shifter area

Some background on the car ( 77K miles, B&M short shifter, new 034 street trans mount) the sound is coming up from the shifter area only when you accelerate quickly or let off the gas. I replaced the trans mounts and it made no difference. The car shifts fine and runs great.

Problem fixed!!!! I lubed the two collars in the shifter assembly and the problem went away.
