SM flywheel gear rattle is quite loud on the 0A3 gearbox, inside the car to the point where sometimes people ask me what's wrong with it 
I noticed on the B6 there is an piece of sound deadening that fits on top of the shifter box under the gear lever. I got hold of one a while ago and found a half hour earlier to see if it would fit:
Looks like this:
Its quite heavy for what it is, the plastic is kind of rubbery and the foam is pretty dense.
B6/B7 shifter box:
Fits like so - needed a little trim to fit round the mounting bolt for the trim retainer. Otherwise
Centre console back on: its made to measure. The centre console fits round it perfectly, like it grew there.
It's made a real difference. The rattle inside the car with the windows up is now faint. There is a also a little less road noise in the cabin. I guess it won't be such a bolt-on fit for the 01E shifter, but for £10 off ebay, worth playing with if you are fed up with the rattle
