Vibration
Hey All, Couple of weeks ago I was getting on it going down the highway and it felt like the drive shaft vibrated real bad. Ever since new it felt like a knocking u-joint when I would shift at lower speeds. So today the Dealership replaced the drive shaft.
No noticeable difference. Still knocks when shifting. Is this normal for these cars? I drove plenty of manuals over the years and the only time there were knocks or vibrations was when a u-joint was going out. Anything else that might be the cause? |

Mine does not vibrate at all. If your referring to vibration/jerking when shifting at low speeds then this is normal. Normal as in your not giving enough gas. This car like a lot of gas before releasing the clutch all the way up. I see you have a 2013 so your car is new, practice more. This car has a sweet spot once you find it that vibration/jerking will be a thing of the past.

My 2009 has a sympathetic vibration at about 3000 rpm, it feels like the driveshaft but only there about that range.
My 4th gear whines louder than the rest but those are the only drivetrain related vibrations I have at 14K miles. |

Thanks for the imput guys. I will practice more. This is my first sports car. Had regular Detroit muscle cars before. There you didn`t feel anything but kick *** power.
The vibration I was talking about was doing at least 80 mph and excellerating hard. |
