I feel sure that all the above recommendations are much more pertinent than what happened here. My 1800 lever used to rattle in the same way that Beetle gear levers rattle when they need new gearbox mounts. Guess what? I changed my engine and gearbox mounts and it stopped it.
Just thought I'd share that with you! By the way, I consider engine and gearbox mounts on these old cars a service item; they're not expensive and quite frankly, don't last! On an 1800, they are quite sensitive to the gearbox mount because when they "lower" with age, the prop gets very close to the prop housing and can bang under load.

I completely agree about the gearbox mounting!
