Hmm, I have the (slight) vibration in park, neutral, and starting in first. I assumed it was due to the undersized (right?) engine mount. But perhaps I have an unbalanced clutch assembly? I don't think my dealer would want to do anything about it, though. It’s not horrible so I’ll probably just have to wait until it goes out (hopefully within 6years/125k miles).
