Weird vibration on gear stick in driving the car, when changing gears. Another question, in turning the steering wheel to the extreme one side-hearing a grinding clank noise, what could be the problem? Oh, and I have a water level shortage in driving the car about fifteen km's. needs to be checked on regular basis. No visible leakage, used at times between two to three cups of water every day. That is in a one way trip.

Check for soft or broken engine or transmission mounts, noise is probably a worn CV joint in the drive shaft. if the rubber boot is torn it has lost all its grease and this is the noise you are hearing. as for the coolant loss, get a cooling system pressure test as this will locate any small leak that is hard to see.
