20i gear stick vibration

Post by Titanium » Thu Mar 01, 2012 11:45 pm

Hi Guys!

Just bought my new 20i a month ago (in Belgium). I have 750 kilometres in it.

I have a disturbing issue with it:
The gear lever has a vibration to it at idle power. Its not very intense but in daylight you can hardly see the numbers on the stick because they seem to flow because of the vibration.

Is it normal? Cos when I mentioned it to the dealer he said he didn't even notice it till I told him...
Then he asked a colleague and they said it was normal (and this is not an electric engine :headbang: ) and it would reduce a little in time, but I'm not a 100% sure about that.

I've driven quite a few manual cars but never really come across a thing like this (except in my Mum's Renault Clio :p)

What are your experiences?

Thanks in advance,
Peter
