Anyone felt the shifter move going over speedbump? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I went over a larger then normal speedbump yesterday and Bam! Friggin shifter vibrated almost violently in my hand. Car is lowered 1.25 inches but has been for 6 months with only mild scraping here and there. I was in a parking lot going very slow. Anyone had this happen to them? Possible damage? Car drives fine but it scared the $hit out of me.

Normal.

You'll be fine. It was probably your driveshaft that created the vibration going over the speed bump. I pretty much know every place in Austin, TX that I cannot drive into as my car is lowered 2 inches.

Constantly...

Same here. Only when I go over a bump too fast with the front tires....I can bottom out in the rear but I won't feel it in the stick....It's only happened a handful of times.....no damage to anything that I can see.

Cool, thanks. This my first lowerd car so I'm still figuring out where I can and can't drive it.

Was on a road with construction and a pothole appeared out of no where, hit it hard enough that it took my shifter from 2nd to neutral.

No, gone over lots of speed bumps and never had it happened but my car isnt lowered either.

I doubt it the drive shaft hit because it pretty deep in the hump also it partly sheilded.
