stick shift moving

Hey,does anyone know what is causing this?When I'm driving, the stick shift bumps back and forth. It seems to happen when letting off the gas and back on.

RE: stick shift moving

Thats normal. Maby not the amount of movement your getting. Transmission mount should be checked along with motor mounts.

RE: stick shift moving

What is causing it is that the shifter in bolted to the transmission, so when the drivetrain moves, the shifter moves with it. Pretty common in High performance cars.

RE: stick shift moving

Didn't think about that, the short shifter doesn't move like the stock shifter? Is it not moving at all or is it just very slight since the throw is shorter?

RE: stick shift moving

No in the S my shifter doesn't move at all. I will double check it on the way home (im at school now) and I'll let you know after I double check. I'm pretty sure it is solid though.
