Default Transmition Vibration?

I dont know if this has been discussed.. I have an 03 lemans sunset 350z, and I love it. The only problem I have is once and a while when I downshift there is a pulsating vibration that seems to come from the transmition. i can feel the vibration straight from the shifter. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there any recalls, or would the warranty fix it? I feel like if I bring it to the dealer they will not notice it. Can Someone help me???

I had the same issue after installing NISMO exhaust, found out it was coming from exhaust and there was also something loose in the shifter. Mine would vibrate under full acceleration terribly, thought shifter was going to jump out of car.

Yes, take it to your dealer and ride with mechanic so you can point put what is happening, that is what I did and he agreed that the vibration was not normal.

When my hands on the shifter, I can feel a slight vibration as well. I can also feel the shifter move ever so slightly when mashing the gas and releasing. I assumed this is normal as I've driven many manuals with the same feel. I have no problems with grinding or rough shifts though. Hopefully I'm right about this

It's cuz this shifter type of tranny...the shifter sits right on top of the tranny...thats where the vibration comes from...it's normal...I'm sure most fellas would agree...and if you sit at idle, you feel it more...the factory guys don't know ****...they rarely know anything...they just sell the damn car...
