    Keep it below 3000rpm and it'll be fine!

    its not too bad in vibrating , but is def noticeable, thought it might something an upgraded dog bone mount might solve.

    i wouldnt worry they all sound that way :D

    esp if they havent been run in a while, just get some decent oil in if you buy it will sort it right out :D

    as for the gear stick not sure on that one possible its the dog bone but couldnt really say
