Mysterious rattles and twinkles are notoriously difficult to track. I had a tinkling that had me tricked for a while. It turned out to be the locking ring at the bottom of the gear shift knob.

The ring covers the grub screws in the centre mounting tube. The knob screws on the tube and then the ring screws up from underneath after the grub screws have been tightened. By its very nature it can only ever be hand tight so it is quite easy for it to work loose and start to tinkle.
