you should probably take out the console and see if you can duplicate it with a friend watching as you drive. Could also be an electrical fire. Either way you need to get on that ASAP

check the transmission mount. Could also be your engine mounts causing the exhaust to slap the bottom of the car.

i toke the car to aamco transmission they fixed for 230$
they told me you have leaking with the transmission piping between the shifters and transmission case
and i think i have to change a transmission mount cuse the transmission has allot of vibration while driving the car especially with the 6th gear
