Stick Shift Vibration
Sorry if this has been covered already, haven't checked out this site in a while.
OK, how can I keep this as clean as possible. Has anyone noticed their stick vibrating? How much is normal?

I know that this has been covered before, but I could not locate the thread...
Anyhow, the short answer is that some vibration is normal (how much I do not know) and that because these cars use a direct linkage to the transmission (as opposed to a cable linkage like in some Hondas) there is more vibration translated back to the shift lever.

Good Vibrations...
I also experienced that when I first got my P%. I dunno how long you've had your Protege, but odds are after you drive it for a while, the vibrations will become less noticible, becase either the car breaks in a bit (new clutch, new cables, etc), or you'll just get used to it.
