Well, it's real hard to tell without being there, but it sounds exactly like
my '90 Integra. The car's been in the family since new, and has been mine
for a good 6 years now. The gear lever and steering wheel both vibrate
fairly well, and have been doing so for a while. On a new Mazda Protege5
which my father purchased recently, I have noticed that it is extremely
'clanky' when fluctating the gas pedal in low gear. Basically, for a car
thats 15 years old, it sounds just fine to me. However, if it really
bothers you, I would look at any rubber bushings on the car, expecially at
the motor and transmission mounts, as it tends to get brittle and hard after
aging.
