Golf R Manual vibrating gear stick?

[adekil]

So the R finally arrived today but as of yet not had chance to take it out for very long!

But whilst I did drive the R, I noticed on a few occasions that the gear stick vibrated only very slightly, this didn't affect the drive at all.

I never noticed this on my GTD but is this normal?

I will take it out for a longer drive tomorrow to see if or what I can make of it and post back if its worse or happens under certain gears/driving situations.

Sorry adekil, I've no idea about the problem you're asking about but noted you have a lovely brand new today R. A few pictures of your pride and joy may not assist in the resolution of your issue, but it couldn't hurt

Ha ha, it needs a wipe over already so will post some up tomorrow

Are you sure you weren't driving your new R a teeny bit harder than the GTD to cause the stick to vibrate. 

Congrats on your lovely new DBP R.   Pics, pics, pics......

Congrats on your shiny new R with a proper gearbox! 

Mine used to vibrate on the overrun in certain gears when it was brand new. I posted up about it somewhere and a few said it was just a torque reaction from the prop shaft and others said they didn't ever experience it.
The thing is I don't think mine does it anymore. Or I've just got used to it.
I'll check in the morning.

Ah thats interesting, will look into it a bit more, i'm sure its fine. I just tend to hover my hand over the gear stick a lot so maybe I notice it more than others might.

My MK4 had this, on overrun in lower gears; gearstick would vibrate.  I was worried about it at first but after 150,000 miles it wasn't any worse, just an idiosyncrasy with the car.

Here she is. Still needs a clean but as I'm taking her away on holiday tomorrow to the coast I thought I would leave the cleaning until I get back! I will post more pictures then.
Wasn't too impress with the delivery, had bird poo on the door frame and spots of dirty all over, but was driven a fair distance from Tunbridge Wells

I noticed the vibrations again today, seems to be in the lower gears and also the gear change is awkward at times, 3rd to 4th didn't seem to always pop in smoothly and reverse as well, had to depress clutch a few times whilst in neutral and driving!!!

Car probably just needs warming up and I'm sure everything will be fine.....

Looks very smart adekil. As for gear changes, my GTI's gearbox is notchy when cold but improves when properly warmed up. It has also improved as the mileage has built, now on 10k.
