I have the same issue. the vibration is really felt in the shifter 6mt. it much more vibration than the normal vibrations. seems to happen more at night when it's cold out. I can also hear a low hum sound coming from the car as well. I'm going to get it checked out my next oil change at nissan.

edit: I do not abuse my car, car has 25000 miles on it.

Doesnt sound like you have the same issue as me. I dont have much vibration in the shifter, the vibration is throughout the whole car. It doesnt happen only at cold temperatures, it happens all the time. The faster I drive, the more it shakes.


So I think i confirmed its a driveshaft issue. I jacked up the rear and ran the car with the wheels in the air. The vibration is still there. The wheels are spinning perfectly straight. It was hard to tell but it looked like the driveshaft had some vibration/run out.
