Angry havin Problems with 5AT shifter vibration

I have an 06 G with 5AT. I drive on auto 95% of the time, tt sometimes.
This is been going on for a while, every time I drive around ~40 mph and the RPM is 2k-2.5k my shifter starts to vibrate and it gets worse if i stay on that speed on that RPM. but if I accelerate or slow down it stops.

I recently took it to the dealer and they couldnt do anything about it. The tech said it was normal for the 06 5AT. it is driving me crazy. basically at one point the whole car was vibrating and all 3 of us in the car could feel it.

I want to know if they are BS about it or is there other 06 5AT fellas having the same problem.

That's BS! I've NEVER had any vibration in the shifter - ever! Tell those buggers to make it right and go to corporate if they don't. If you're a kid, they should cater to your needs ever more - you have many car purchases ahead of you.

first you and him do not have the same transmission and second corporate doesnt do much when dealing with dealers...it sounds more like a bushing or mount that is bad

You should not have that.

Get a service guy to drive with you and show him what you talking about.

it was less after they looked at it and said they fixed it couple of months ago but now it started again. and this time they are saying thats all they can do.

the next dealer ship is about 30 miles away from me which is infiniti of scottsdale.

I have been doing business with this dealership for two years and bought the car from them.

put his a$$ on a shifter and then do a test drive

See if he would want to fix it after that.
