Hey All----

Got a question for you, this is the first time I noticed this. On a wet road today I lost traction going around a corner and when I did so the gear shift (5 speed) was moving pretty good (shaking back and forth) when the car was shuddering to gain traction. Is that normal? It was shaking pretty good but the back tires weren't really hopping or anything. I've never seen it do that before. The traction control light didn't even illuminate.

Not really the wheel hop, I mean the transmission shaking the shifter pretty roughly when I lost traction. I did it on purpose again, same thing....seems like the tranny shakes pretty violently.
