All the 5 speed owners,next time your sitting in your car solo, hit the stick shift straight down with a open hand and let me know if the whole car kinda bounces with it. Cause mine does and it scares me. Thanks in advance.

I just tried it and all that happened was the shifter moving down about a quarter of an inch. That sounds crazy. What year do you have?

I have a 98 with about the same mileage, 56k. Maybe its a sign of good tranny mounts. And mine have jsut craped out.

mined did it too. more so with the stock shifter. i just put in a short shifter, but it still does it, but not as bad.

my car has over 120k but the tranny is out of a '97 and has about 40k on it
