Default rattle coming from stick shift

i have a 98 xj 5 speed. at 2k rpms i hear a rattling sound that seems to be coming from the base of the shifter. my wife says it sounds more like grinding but it's more of a rattle to me.

just recently i've replaced the AC condenser, dryer and liquid line, install a stereo and speakers, a 3" rough country life and 31" tires.

i suspect the lift may be the cause but i had the lift on for about a week before this rattle started. i am getting some slight driveline vibs so i was going to drop the TC 1" this weekend.

any thoughts?

How are your motor and trans mounts? How close is your exhaust to the oil pan/bellhousing?
