vibration at idle with AC on? Tingle in your foot? Your kidding right?
Ya the spark knock you are talking about is because your timing is advanced a little too much for the octane level of the gas you are using. My 01' Chevy did the same thing and yes it annoyed me too. Try buying fuel from a different gas station and see if that helps or start buying the mid grade fuel.
I think the only way to fix this is to back off the timing or buy better fuel.
Don't know what to tell ya about the tranny thing. But if it's anything like "the Ac at idle makes my foot tingle" I'll bet its nothing.
Good luck.......Next time buy a Lincoln Car or a Cadillac Car.

I wouldn't buy that one if I was this guy. Those 550 ponys are sure to cause TOO MUCH vibration.
It just wouldn't be worth being that uncomfortable all the time.
