I would start by checking if the lever on the engine side of the primary is pushed against the primary case as far as it goes and is tightened properly.
If not, loosen the outer levers and slide out, get the inner lever set and tightened, then push the outer levers into place and tighten.

You might give this a try. Remove the shifter shaft, clean the shaft and and bushings in the primary. Use heavy bearing grease and reassemble the pieces. The notches in the the shaft are large enough that you can have someone squeeze the shifter and lever together while you tighten the bolts. I had the same problem with the shifter rattling after removing the heel shifter and it worked for me.

I'm thinking about trying the E-Z Spacer.

Looks like this will take care of the problem and should keep it from coming back. Anyone have any experience with this?

It can, and it is, but a shaft from HD for $20 and a friend with a machinists license, might be the answer.
