i think discriminating buyers is the reason why we all have such a great selection of quality cars for under $40K in the marketplace right now. just because a car is really good doesn't mean Infiniti shouldn't try to iron out any wrinkles. i knew everybody would get defensive, but you just love your car and thats all good

 

Sounds like you want a FWD Acura TL. ahahaha.

I read a very in dept article on this issue while waiting on my 350Z to be delivered. They knew about vibration peaking at 4800 RPM if I remember correctly. They said they could have added some rubber to tone it down, but made a conscience decision to leave it in because the rubber would have given a less precise feel to the gear shifts. I like it, and have no problem as well.

 

I've been amazed/horrified at the various threads on vibration, hard shifting and other tranny woes. Sounds like a whole different car from the one I drive every day! In 35 years of driving manuals, the 6mt has the sweetest feel of any car I've had to row thru the gears. Missed a gate downshifting a time or ten, but hey, my bad.
How can Nissan's QC allow such wide variations?

Mine's PERFECT. I wouldn't change it for anything. If I wanted a vibrationless shifter that communicated nothing of what was going on in the tranny, I'd have chosen the 5AT slushbox.

 

I believe that the vibration in some 6MT's must be much more than mine. I can not believe that anyone could object the vibration in mine. I have only driven my own 6MT and one that I test drove.

I suggest that you try driving another 6MT to see if there is somthing wrong with yours.

 

It is normal cause the shifter is directly connected to the transmission...thats why the shifter vibrates...on hondas/acuras that have a cable link shifter to do the shifts it doesnt vibrate cause its not directly connected

No Honda/Acura has both ways cable AND shift linkage. Trust me
