Gear stick vibrations

DutchV40 · Mar 13th, 2008, 19:09

When driving 120/130 km/u on the highway and placing my hand on the gear stick, I feel strong vibes/resonance. Only in the stick. There is visual movement. Car drives ok.
Only the strong almost tickling feel in the stick.

Is this normal or should I feel nothing in the stick?

warm regards

178.000 KM. Oil level is ok.
Car shifts ok and drives ok.
But You "feel" the engine through the stick from 3000 rev and higher...
So this is not normal?

ok,assuming the vibration is through the whole car the problem is your tyre achoice,a common problem.also check the tyres arent rotational and fitted the wrong way.the judder is caused by a tread resonance issue

Sorry if I was confusing.
The vibes in the stick (the engine feel vibes) are a different issue compared to the other issue of the judder in the car. This is more a shaking feel.
The vibes in the stick are a kind of resonance only felt in the stick...
