Problem...Short video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cca5RXIinrU
ok, the problem is when i push on the gas the car "shutters" I dont know what other term to use, if you listen close i do it about 3 times, this was taken in high gear, but will do it in any gear, i wouldnt say its WOT, just general acceleration, car drives fine, unless i want to accelerate.

My 2002 WS6 did that in 6th gear when I had cylinders 5 and 7 go out on me. Other gears it was OK. I had no other symptoms from the engine. Thought it was normal because I was "lugging" the engine a bit. Then one day I was accelerating up a hill and my check engine light started flashing. A few months later, a new short block went in. Not trying to scare you, but the shifter wiggling like yours does is exactly what mine did. A compression check confirmed they were dead. How many miles on the engine?

it may be a spark plug loose, when we did did headers we pulled a few of them, and put them back in, we were limited in space and i thought we got them all in.
