Shaking Shift knob
#11
yea its normal, but you said that it is uncomfortable to put your hand on, just a reminder, you shouldn't rest your hand on the shifter unless you are about to shift, you dont want to rest it because it will push it where is shouldnt be, even the smallest amount could be bad, let the shifter rest naturally unless you are about to shift. I heard this from a good mechanic

But I know what your saying, I have seen people use the shifter as an "oh shit" handle in turns. If your going to do that, use the hand brake. However, if your going to make a turn fast/hard enough to *need* an "oh shit" handle, you really should have both hands on the wheel.

Normal.
People say an engine torque dampener stops the vibration.

The shifter in my S2000 has maybe a 1/4" of play left/right when running.
Shifter in my old Ram SRT-10 moved around at least a full inch.
It did have huge shift lever to magnify the vibrations...
In either case, it is normal for a direct-mounted shifter to vibrate.
