Heavier shift knob. Short shifter will make the vibration worse.

I don't mind it at all. I actually like it. It's like I'm in tune with the car, I can feel its emotion. Caress it. Then shift it.

Install booby ball shift knob. Vibration becomes a bonus feature rather than a nuisance.

My TWM Desert Eagle reduced the vibration slightly. Then when I installed the TWM short shifter it increased slightly.

Yeah, it's no big deal. I kind of like it. It's a more "raw" feeling, IMO.

Only touch the knob when actively shifting.
