There is a lengthy thread on NICO about it: http://forums.nicoclub.com/new-owner-03-pathfinder-w-vibration-at-40-to-60mph-t541488.html

 

In the OP's case, the front driveshaft was the culprit. He replaced it with a used one from a junkyard PF.

check your ujoints and get the shaft balanced

sometimes the little weights fall off

Sorry guys, I looked into nissan book. What I ment is 4x4 shift inside the cabin. It has a little vibration when the motor is on in parking gear. When I apply gas i feel more vibration and granding inside.

Yeah i have that too, but only if you put your hand on the shift knob than you can feel a slight vibration. I mean you cant see it vibrating or hear it. I guess its normal coz its been like that since i bought my truck.

The vibration you feel in the transfer case lever is normal vibration from the engine. The lever is directly attached to the transfer case, which is directly attached to the transmission, which is directly attached to the engine. Since there isn't much in the way of vibration damping between the engine and the t-case lever, any vibration you feel is normal.
