Is this a floor shift? I would guess there may be something loose around, or below, the shift lever.
Also, my 1961 190Db shakes the front bumper at idle because it needs a complete tune-up; it runs rough at those rpm’s. Bill in

Subject: [diesel_mercedes] Vibrating gear shift lever - Sylvia 1984 - 300 SD
Thought I had posted this earlier in the week but haven't seen any replies or threads with the title above.
We're having strange symptoms with Sylvia - the gear shift lever is vibrating and "ratlling" between 1000RPM and 2000RPM. Seems to happen in idle and D until shifted into 3rd or 4th gear. No change in engine performance or transmission behavior otherwise. What would cause the shift lever to rattle/vibrate enough so that you can feel it and hear it? Holding the shift lever against the edge of the shift-way suppresses the noise but you can still feel it in the lever. Goes away at higher revs and when accelerating...
Any ideas anyone? This 300K mi+ engine just drove round trip from
Cheers... Barton
