Now when I sit in the car (idle) I feel like random shaking.
Like something doesn't go smooth in there.
What might it be?
I had a new o2 sensor 2 months ago so I don't think it's the o2
Start with the basics.. Did you check your motor mount or transmission mount?
It doesn't feel like a mount.Quote:

But I have new plugs as well.
Idk. I checked all sensors connectors as well.

I dunno about u, but I've got an extra stop on the hump that says "M" and the paddles... those are at least three more things that move.... And I am PRETTY sure there are things moving around when I shift in to "M" from "D."Quote:

All of the soft parts and some of the hard parts, CV axels, tranny cooler installed. All that done by somebody who works on these trannys a lot ( they are the contractors for the Sherriff's office. ) And other GXP owners telling me they paid about the same, I am feeling PRETTY good about the price I paid.
I also have that little M and the paddles on the steering wheel. GXP's are the only grand prix's that had them. It doesn't make the transmission cost anymore to get rebuilt. The gxp's take the same transmission as a regular grand prix so the rebuild cost should be about the same aside from a little more on labor for r&r
Decided I'm gonna tint the GXPs turn signals. Just hafta wait til I have time.
They arent the only grand prixs that had tapshift my compg has them as well.. The only moving part is switching to from drive to M so the trans internal mode selector knows your using tapshift. From there the paddles are just data.Quote:

Look we both have all the same parts to replace comp g or Gxp w might have some upgrade parts but there is nothing more labor intensive. People just wanna tell you so they can get more money out of you. But its all the same.
There might be one miniscule tifference. GXP tranny has an extra motor mount. That's all. Lol.
Its actually easier to unbolt from our diff cover housing then than the 3800 engine block to diff cover bracket.Quote:

I've struggled with this same thing since I can remember and I've owned my 08 grand prix 3.8 N/A since 30k miles. I tried to do a lot of research and ended up replacing plugs, wires, cleaned throttle body, cleaned MAF, replaced PCV valve and nothing seemed to matter. Never had a CEL light come on - ever. There's just a shudder in there when I'm sitting idling. It's really annoying but I've started caring less...Quote:
