vibrations? i bought a 2002 trans am ws6 6 speed a few days ago and it seems to have a lot of vibration in the steering wheel and shifter. i took it back and the mechanic said it was normal. d you guys have vibrations?
I would say motor mounts. Look at them and see if they are aftermarket. From my experience, tranny mounts won't effect the steering wheel. But I would change the tranny mount hoping that it fixes it because motor mounts are not fun to replace.
Does it vibrate while revving it in Neutral?

Motor mounts are easy to check. Put the car in 1st, hold the brakes and ease the clutch out without stalling it. Have a friend watch the engine for excessive rock. Do the same thing in reverse. I can tell you from experience the motor mount on F-body's are NOT fun to replace, even doing it in a fully equipped garage with a lift.
You should not be getting excessive vibration in the wheel and shifter at idle. I have poly mounts all the way around and I don't have a problem. I'd be concerned that they didn't balance the pressure plate and flywheel when they did the clutch or that a bolt could be working its way out of the pressure plate. Taking a look at the tranny mount couldn't hurt.
