I bought a 986 2.7L two months ago ( 50 000Km ). I noticed that when I go from first to second gear I get small vibrations ( the moment I push the clutch pedal ) at about 1500 rpm. But when I'm over 2500 rpm there are no vibrations. The vibrations seem to come from the engine. Is this normal? Do you always change gear over 2000 rpm ? Do I need to get it to the dealer for checking? What could be the problem?

My 02 3.2L (47,000 miles) has always been like that. I pretty much just assumed that 1500 RPM was too low an RPM for the engine. I let out the clutch in the 1800-2500 RPM range and drive between 2800-7000 RPM.

The thing is sometime you can't go faster than 1500 rpm, can't put the second gear and need to stop ( in a parking for example ). Does it damage your engine?. Is there any solution? I really feel incomfortable with these vibrations...

By the way, thanks for the reply!

Maybe I don't quite understand the issue. When slowing down, I put in the clutch when the speed gets too low and coast or brake. It is OK to accelerate mildly under low RPM, just don't give it a lot of gas. When creeping at low speed, such as waiting in line for a toll booth, I alternate between 2-3 seconds of mild acceleration with the clutch out and coasting with the clutch in.

In low speed situations, driving a clutch is definitely more work than driving an automatic :cursing: However, throwing the shift into 5th or 6th at red line and full throttle definitely compensates :D
