Re: vibration around shifter

Did you find the problem? I'm having something similar and am interested in what you found.

Thanks.

Re: vibration around shifter

The same symptoms happened to me when my driveshaft was unbalanced. Never had a problem until I put new U-joints in. I guess the slop from the old U-joints took up the out of balance condition. Once new joints were put in, the vibration would come and go, depending on the rpm. A trip to the driveshaft shop fixed it. Like yours, the vibration was most evident at the shifter.

Re: vibration around shifter

your driveshaft may be in perfect balance, but if its even 1/4 an inch too long or too short it will cause vibrations.
