6MT Tranny Problem

Hey everyone! This is my first time on this forum.
My problem rests with the shifter. In second and sixth gears, when I am cruising at basically any RPM and if I lift off and then apply gas again I can see movement in the shifter as though it is trying to pop out of gear. Has anyone else seen this occurance or is it a red flag to take to the service dept. I have about 2200 miles on her. Thanks in advance for any advice.

I'm not sure I would consider it "normal", but it is normal for our cars? It seems like a clutch issue to me...

It has a harder clutch than you are used to. The shifter shakes more than you are used to. It is indeed normal for this car. 38K in a 6MT G37. It has never once popped out of gear.

Ok, great. Thank you both for the quick response! And here I thought I was going to get to try out the free loaner system

The loaners are generally G35 sedans with AT and they are surprisingly fast. Schedule your first oil change at a busy time a week or so ahead and request a loaner.

Unless you're driving a Civic, which pops out even when you're holding it in place.

It's completely normal. Happens in many cars.
