Just took delivery today of the car, I can't believe I didn't get one sooner!

One thing I noticed on the drive home on the highway, is that the shift knob vibrates...is this normal or is something loose?? Should I be worried?

 

It is normal... its pretty much stuck right on the tranny, so there will be vibration.

If it is making a buzzing sound, I think there is a washer or something that is loose that you can see if you take off the shift boot.

 

hm, ok...it was just freaking me out b/c it doesn't vibrate on my Prelude...but if it's normal i'll stop worrying. no buzzing sound though. thanks for the quick reply

 

In a prelude, the shifter is nowhere near the tranny. Its all cable linkages to connect. Lots of isolation.

In a rear wheel drive car, generally the shifter is solidly mounted to the tranny. Makes for more positive shifts but more vibration.

 

ah. i figured it was something like this since the S is more of a sports car than the Prelude. Thanks for the reply!

 

mine didn't use to vibrate before...
