I'm getting irregular vibrations when in said gear. I've never made a habit of resting my right hand on the shifter of any manual car but I've noticed on occasion that 3rd will occasionally vibrate in my hand more than any other gear. I will also notice it when I'm redlining through the gears and realize that 3rd is the odd stepchild in what are otherwise clean pulls. I can't replicate it on demand but I can feel a difference whenever I move to switch gears or rest my hand on the shifter sometimes.

I've never had issues being locked out of gears except when the engine is cold (shifts require a bit more dexterity) and never had any gears kick itself out before. All other gears seem to fall in line with the inherent smoothness of a balanced i6 but this one baffles me. It might all be in my head but it's starting to annoy me. Is 3rd gear just a bit looser or is it just closer to the engine?
