My 2003, standard, MP5 is almost a month old now and I've been having a weird problem since I bought it. I don't drive it much, it's only got 1100kms on it and I was hoping the weird vibration would go away after I broke the car in. Basically, when I'm in gear and I ease up on the gas pedal to slow down, and then put pressure back on the gas pedal to accelerate, the stick shifter wobbles back and forth about 1cm for a few seconds until I get up to speed again. The car doesn't lurch like I'm going to stall it, I'm still in the correct gear for the speed I'm going. An example would be, your driving in 3rd gear, coming up to a red light, you ease off the gas to wait for the green, you get the green and accelerate. This wobble is significant - you can not only feel it in your hand, but without you hand on the stick, you and your passengers can watch it move. Does anyone else have this weird wobbling?? It also wobbles if you rev the engine in neutral but the wobble isn't as severe. I don't remember feeling this wobble in the car I used for a test drive but my mind was on other things at the time anyways. Should I be worried about this wobble or is this normal? - I've driven 5 other standard cars (all old), two of them Mazda's proteges, and I've never felt this before.
