Gear vibration

Had car since March, 2000miles, always had a vibration when accelerating through gearstick, vibrates more the quicker you accelerate.
More pronounced in lower gears...
Anyone else have this issue, I thought I saw a similar problem on here?

Other than this car good, headlight alignment drivers side slightly proud, occasional vibration passenger side, oh and very noisy fan which sometimes makes strange noise, which needs looking at!

Cheers
Matt

Morning.

Think a couple of these have been sorted.

Gearstick vibration with a linkage adjustment.

Fan housing was found to have a foreign object inside (paper or plastic) could be wrong.

Not seen a fix for headlamp alignment, though spearmint, I think, highlighted this issue.

My dash rattles, still. Top left panel covering passenger airbag. Goes once car is warm, or if you weigh it down with a brick....😁

I need to book in for some adjustments, just haven't made the time.....

I had issues which needed fixing as it seems that a cable was disconnected

Think this is to do with mhev system. Clutch is working hard and doesn't like to be slipped. Try and get used to setting off at higher revs. Mine is the same.

Thanks for letting me know it's nice to drive but thought there might be something wrong.

I also find that setting off in sport mode is smoothest. I think the mhev system. Is trying to boost you from stopped, rather than progressively up the rev range. I'm assuming your car is hybrid?

I've also been using Tesco 99ron or super. Don't wanna start the 'best fuel' debate but the car feels better for it.
