What is the cause of the rattling noise coming from my gearshift ?

What is your question?

My stick shift has a buzzing / rattling sound that is similar to the old model cars when you could unscrew the shift-know and it would rattle on the stick when loose ... but the noise in my car is coming from the other end of the stick. Sounds like a loose linkage problem. It only started after I had my transmission rebuilt three years ago.
