I bought this used Nissan Altima 2000 GXE few weeks ago. This car is manual and I only drove automatic before, so it took me awhile to adjust. I understand the wobbles i get during shifting gears from one to another. BUT, i am also getting shakes or wobbles from the car when its gear is 2nd or 3rd and when I am NOT putting gas. I'll just take my foot off from gas at 2nd gear, and car would wobble. I know this is not my inexperience doing it b/c all I am doing is let the car roll.. and it wobbles a lot especially on the 2nd gear.

Is there something wrong with this specific gear?? any advices would be very appreciated.
Thank you

Hi smsong814,

Where is the wobbling from? Steering, whole car, front part of vehicle, gear shift?

Thanks for such fast response.

I don't know for sure but I feel like it's either front part of the car or whole car.

Hi smsong814,

I would suggest checking the steering linkages, arm bushes and wheel bearings. Something could be loose or worn.
