When I am crusing in any gear it shakes a little from side to side and at idle too but not as bad. I dont notice any problem with the transmission, it shifts fine and does not wine much. I just wanted to make sure this is normal. Also if it helps I have a Voodoo shift knob. Thanks
you should see the 350z
in addition you should never rest your hand on the shift knob. only when shifting. you'll wear out parts by not allowing the motion of the ocean
god i feel stupid now.. i usually always keep my hand on the shifter and try to hold it in place cause i thought the shaking was bad... ahhh! o well i'll stop that

leaving foot off of clutch and hands off of shifter unless needed is a good thing

It's normal, but it's not good. Honda could have used stiffer engine and tranny mounts, but probably wanted to avoid transmitting more vibration to the chassis.
The best way to reduce the engine and tranny movement is with a properly tuned engine damper. It will also dramatically increase the quality of shifting, and improve handling- especially when accelerating/decelerating while cornering.

Pete, where can one get those, and how hard are they to install?
What about stiffer (urethane) tranny mounts? Does anyone make those?
