Is it your shifter that's rattling, or the trim around the shifter?

well if it is the shifter not something else probialy your shifter bushings. most trans i have seen usally have 1 of them of there all fubared up. good way to tell is to put it into gear and wiggle it side to side and pull up and down on it. theres about 4-6 shimes and crap that you can get from any mazda dealer for about 70$ for all of them hope that helps
