Question: when I'm in 6th and I tap the gas ever so slightly I noticed my shifter moves... Quirk? Or tranny mount? I have warranty but if it's a known thing without sport mounts then I'd just rather upgrade.
Thoughts?

... why are you tapping your gas in 6th when driving and looking at your shifter...? should be eyes up and foot on the pedal to maintain that speed. but i think its common, 2.5L gt guys, what do you say?

[peterm15]

Hes got his hand resting on the shifter.

I'm not sure how to take that... Simple question was all

[peterm15]

@Booter22
any chance you want to check with your service guys to see if its normal? Its def got a vibration compared to my 07 2.0

i notice a bit of vibration in mine. its not 100% solid and i would only assume it will move a bit or vibrate

I'm not sure how to take that... Simple question was all

so was mine.. more so i was wondering why you would be tapping the gas looking at your shifter wondering why it might move.. when i dont know why you would tapp the gas in the first place. that was all, not trying to be rude. just was trying to figure out the sequence that got you to do that to wonder if it was normal or not when tapping the gas in 6th i wouldnt consider normal is all

i remember the 2.5L had more vibration and movement compared to the 2.0L similar to the miatas and rx8s. but sadly we dont have any 2.5s in manual here. so i cant check one.

[Lmmorden]

Tap is probably a bad verb... How I noticed it was crushing on the 400 in 6th I took my foot off the gas and was going to gear up for potential slow down but didn't need to... When I took my foot off the gas it moved.. When I reapplied the gas even ever so slightly as to maintain speed... It moved again. I do not look at my shifter while I drive but as I was anticipating a slow down, my hand was on the stick.. I do apologize for the confusion as it was probably my French coming out. As for vibration.. No vibration. The stick moves about .5 cm (no short shift)

[Lmmorden]

Cruising.. Not crushing.. Lol

it sounds like normal movement to me. i do remember my time in the gt and i did notice it move a bit more then my 2.0

[Lmmorden]

Ok thanks!

[Lmmorden]

My daughter told me I have a girl horn.... First mod officially decided

[Lmmorden]

Horn mod plan: measure the frequency output of my current horn and use a tone generator to see which freq added to it would generate a chord of my liking.. Install 2nd horn as a complementary freq to create the chord of my desire.

[peterm15]

Wow. You really over think shit. Lol

[Lmmorden]

There is nothing worse than an untuned horn or what lack of thought was put into that ick

[peterm15]

Tell my niece shes a good girl and uncle petey loves her for making fun of daddys horn.

[Lmmorden]

Umm I told her u had the same horn and she laughed even harder... Made me honk it again

[peterm15]

Hahaha.

[Lmmorden]

My horn is a perfect c note @ 523.3 Hz... So to make a 2 tone power chord of root and fifth.. I need a root F note @ 349.2 Hz to use my horn as the complimentary 5th

[Lmmorden]

On second thought the hella super tone high or rich tone high are tuned to 400hz about a G and sounds pretty good with the C..

[r4mi5awi]

But what about the D?
