Shifter = ANNOYING VIBRATION! I have a 2001 Camaro SS M6 with the stock shifter.
Nothing is wrong with it, but it shakes and vibrates like hell. The car idles perfect, not 1 vibration, but when i touch the shifter it vibrates pretty hard.
Is there a bolt that needs tightening under there or what? I'm thinking about ordering a pro 5.0 eventually, but for now i need to know how to fix this crappy stock shifter

the tranny doesn't shake, if that were the case wouldn't i feel a loss of power at the wheels, and feel it shaking when i drive/switch gears?
The only thing that shakes is the shifter, i have 0 loss of power at the wheels, and the transmission doesn't shake when puting it in a gear.

Yeah my shifter does that as well. The tranny mount is shot. It will get replaced when I do the clutch this winter. If I get that poly trans mount, do I need to worry about changing engine mounts too? I don't want to screw anything else up by upgrading that.

looked under the car today, it doesn't look like its the tranny mount, it feels sturdy.
i have 0 decrease in performance and the tranny doesn't shake at all when i put it into gear or when i switch gears..
do you guys think a bolt has come lose where the shifter is bolted to the tranny?
i heard something about someone putting a small rubber gasket under there shifter bolts to stop them from shaking.. i guess ill look at the actual shifter tomorrow.
the car has 18k miles and was driven by a 55 year old man.. garaged for 2 years, i doubt it would be the tranny mount anyways.. but i do imagine that a bolt could come lose after 2 years of being in a garage?
we'll see tomorrow i guess.. maybe i'll replace the tranny mount just for general principle, though. (aka, give me something to do after work)

I just picked up an Energy Suspension Polyurethane Trans mound this morning at Autozone. It will be going in when I do my clutch this winter.

Brink, Did you ever resolve this? I feel a vibration and it does sound like a rattling, clanging, our "bag of change" as said before. Man I hope it is the tranny mount. I was afraid the tranny was going bad.
I think my car had Lou's short stick in it when I bought it so maybe it is loose as well.

The bag of change rattling could be around the input shaft as well. When I did my Ls7 clutch install I had expected to see a worn pilot bearing, but mine looked brand new.
I figure my occasional cold gear grinds and occasion WOT grinds the signs of a transmission declaring fix me.

Has anybody resolved the shifter shaking badly by swapping in a new pilot bearing? What would be wrong with it?
Everything on my manual swapped G8 GT from the crank back is brand new with less than 2000 miles since the swap. That's including the pilot bearing.
