lol guess its not really an issue if everyone else has it. better question is anything i could do to get rid of it i.e short shifter or maybe something else

Heavier shift knob. Short shifter will make the vibration worse.

I don't mind it at all. I actually like it. It's like I'm in tune with the car, I can feel its emotion. Caress it. Then shift it.

Install booby ball shift knob. Vibration becomes a bonus feature rather than a nuisance.

My TWM Desert Eagle reduced the vibration slightly. Then when I installed the TWM short shifter it increased slightly.

i suppose it vibrates a little, but it hasn't bothered me.

i run twm biggie type-r knob on my Z. check my albums page for picts. lol

Call me weird but I somewhat like the vibration (no homo lol)

after a rough last few days coming in to work monday morning and seeing that weird looking tit shifter made my day. I feel like im getting more used to the car now after a week and the vibrations are growing on me.

Haboob · 04-07-2014, 08:57 AM

Yeah, it's no big deal. I kind of like it. It's a more "raw" feeling, IMO.

Only touch the knob when actively shifting.
