a question about the shifter shaking

Synchros shot? Weird noises while shifting? Not sure what needs to be replaced?

My shifter shakes all the time...driving and in neutral. Some cars are just way cause of their engines.

What are you guys doing with your hand on the shifter while driving? That's not a good practice.
I dont usually have my hand on the shifter. But I still know it shakes, because when I get ready to shift, I put my hand on the shifter before I begin the process of shifting.

Shortshifters tend to rumble more than normal shifters, at least that's what I've come to notice.

My shifter shakes, but other forum members have said the shaking is the nature of all manuals. I only notice this shaking when the clutch is pressed in or when the car is at idle and the shifter is in neutral.

From my limited understanding the normal vibrations from the transmission, under the above conditions, are sent up through the shifter and make it shake. Unless the shifter shaking gradually gets worse over time, or the shakes are uncontrollable when shifting, then I see the shakes as anything but a problem.

Epic necrothread.
A record, possibly?
