I always drive with my hand resting on the shifter but lately it feels like a get a lot of feedback from it when I go over bumps or drive on bad roads. I can feel it move back and forth more than I’m used to with other cars.
Can anyone give me any input from your experience?
That's normal 'if' you are talking about a tiny little wiggle movement. When I slowly drive over a narrow gate track for my driveway it causes the shifter to wiggle a tiny bit as the transmission moves in its mounts.
I guess so. It's that I never noticed it on my other cars.
It almost has the same feeling as a stick shift moving on a manual transmission, no? I haven't driven one in a long time but I do remember the same kind of movement.
I suspect that, similar to a manual car, notable movement is indicative of deteriorating motor and transmission mounts. How many miles do you have? Do you drive aggressively or spiritedly?
I definitely get a bit of feedback from the shifter as well, but you've got to be paying attention to it to really notice it, or go over something like a gate track as bclexus mentioned.
