Would rather with the same topic:

Example: I’d rather go for dinner. (used for the present and future)
Example: I’d rather not fly. I hate planes. (negative-use not in the would rather clause)
Example: She’d rather have spent the dollars on a holidays. (it means she didn’t spend the dollars on a holidays in the past).
To express a past preference, use the present great tense.

Would rather with a different topic:

Example: I’d rather you went for dinner. ( where I prefer you going for dinner)
Use a easy past tense when you prefer that someone else does something

Example: She’d rather you didn’t device her after 10 pm. (negative)
Use the negative in the second clause and not in the would rather clause when you have two topics in the sentence, even though you are talking about a present preference.

Example: I’d rather you hadn’t rung me at work. (past tense)

Use the past great tense when you claim that you preferred someone else doing or not doing something in the past.
