Greetings!

I am taking my barely-week-old baby to the dealership tomorrow. I have been driving it for almost a week and noticed that the shift indicator light NEVER comes on. My hubby bought a Cobalt LX just over a month ago that is also a manual transmission. I am familiar with the gauges and thought this to be a bit odd.

I called the dealership and was told to "run up the rpms to about 4500 to 5000 and see if it comes on" so I tried this once - no light.

I also feel a bit of a vibration and lift through the shifter handle after shifting the car into third gear. When I hit the gas I feel the shifter handle lift up a bit and vibrate - which I think may be due to a loose motor mount.

Dumb question but figured I would ask anyway: there SHOULD be a shift indicator light on cars with the manual transmission, correct?

Anyone else experienced issues with the vibration and lifting I described concerning the shifter itself?

I'm figuring it to be something relatively minor since the car has been sitting on the lot and basically the only miles were test drive miles....of course, that's what the warranty is for.

Everyone have a great day and thank you for providing a forum SS owners.
