The vibration is normal. As for the 5th gear issue, I honestly have never heard of this one. Oh by the way, the vibration might only seem annoying for the first week of being able to drive the car hard. After that, you get used to it, and don't even notice it unless noted.

Sounds to me like the noise you're hearing is from your synchros. Exactly what they're doing I couldn't tell you.

Try switching to a synthetic gear oil. I used mobil 1 and it really smoothed the shifted and quieted the drivetrain.

im going to take it to the dealer tomm so they know of the problem if something happens so i dont get screwed on warranty later, synthetic oil sounds like it might work but im definately going to take it to the dealer just to make sure that they know whats going on
