Second, that looks completely normal to me. I can actually make the knob move noticeably forward and backward on demand. That's in addition to the side-to-side vibration from the drivetrain. And a 480 gram shift knob

On idle, I do feel a slight periodic pulse in the bottom of my seat (and the shifter shakes slightly in sync with this pulse), but I assume this is just the engine. At speed, its hard to notice if its in my seat or not (but I'll say no). I tried again on a new freshly paved smooth road, and it still occurs (as well as on the highway). On a regular "suburbs" street (i.e. not downtown full of potholes), the shaking is more obvious.

I took another video from birds eye view.
I'm not sure if its related, but the rattle that occurs is just as concerning for me now (I assume this is definitely not normal!).

I am suffering from exactly the same problem and my 370Z has only 11,000 km on it.

I leave the video here.

In the official nissan workshop have changed the lever and the knob but the problem persists.

Please @free70, did you solve this problem? Can someone help me?

Thanks in advance
