Gearstick vibration - how much is normal?

As the Dr had said it vibrates a little I had to look again at mine as I could not recall this, and Yes, it vibrates a little!
I stand by my original comment in that I had never noticed, it so small and the "feel" is a much reduced damped version of engine vibration. It fades into insignificance compared to the general rumble and sway of a Jimny, I guess that's why it never registered with me.
It's not any worse or better than any other vehicle I have owned.
Here's a video of my Jimmy at about 900 rpm, engine still warming up. 2009 M13a VVT. Desperately trying trying to avoid all the double entendre that this subject evokes 


sorry about the sound, my engine does not normally sound like this, a few less birds / tractors for a start.

Yokohama Geolanders, Sony head unit, NAUTILUS Air Horn, DRL conversion, Rear cargo space, Elvis Bobblehead, transfer Guard, Indian hanging Elephant, Koni Heavy track dampers, Custom SS exhaust, Voodoo Doll, Adventure Rack with LED ight bar, vintage ERIBA caravan usually attached (yes it's slow)

Few things it could be.

Main v shape mount under neath as stated by lads above.

Two small top rubber mounts.

Bush on end of gear linkage rod where it meets the gearbox.

Dust seal on same rod and two needle bearing inside gear linkage.

I'd take the shroud and the clamping rings off the gearstick and have a look for water mud inside gear linkage. That'll tell you if the seal and/or needle bearings are knackered.

I've just had this issue myself. Loose and rattly slowly getting worse then one day gear stick stuck in 3rd. Two needle bearings and a seal was £70ish quid.
