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.

hmmm, failing 02 sensors cause that, and you won't necessarily get an SES light.
Maybe some kind of clutch issue, don't know a whole lot about manuals.
Does it rev perfectly smooth all the way up to like 5,000 rpm in "Park" or "Neutral".

seems to do it when it has a load against it, the heavier the load (6th gear) the easier it does it, havent thought about it being the clutch, any other thoughts?
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.
