Is the noise your linkage rattling? The shift shaft pivot in the primary (where your foot shift lever is bolted to) rattles because some idiot engineer thought a bushing would be good enough at this pivot point. The bushing wears out and the shaft rattles in the bore. Putting light pressure on the shifter stops the shaft from rattling and stops the noise. Is there a lot of slop in the shaft your foot shifters are bolted to?
