Normal, some people have switched to an AP2 tranny to get rid of it, but that seems like a lot of money just to get rid of a little vibration.

When parts move as fast as they do there tend to be vibrations, and if the transmisson moves (from a bump in the road or something) so will the shifter.

this is an old trick but the only way you can lessen that vibration is to get a heavy shifter itself. The OEM shifter is heavy so you would need something that weighs more than OEM.

but the vibration is normal i have it on my 06

you sure? 440gram skunk2 knob=

if you have excessive vibration, it could be from a broken plastic end cap on the bottem of the shifter, someone on h-t.com posted a end cap was cracked in half.

the little booger was like 10 dollar at dealer
