Vibration
Does anyone else have more than normal vibration coming through their gearshift with a manual transmission. I have never felt this much vibration from any car. Since I haven't heard anyone complaining, maybe it's just mine.

It's possible the shaft that transmits the power from the engine to the tranny is bent or out of balance. My old Porsche 928 had a similar "torque tube" that would start to oscillate at higher RPMs.
Surely sounds like something is out of balance...
Yes, best to bring it into the shop and have them look at it.
