    Okay, so while driving normally I've started to notice my shifter bouncing around a bit, especially in 3rd or 4th gear. I understand since it's all stock I should notice some movement, but it's now become a quite a bit more.

    Any suggestions/advise on cause and a remedy? Transmission mount weak or flexing? shifter bushings worn?

    I've never worked on that part of the car so I'm a bit confused.

    I cant give you a technical answer but replacing the front and rear shifter bushings with kartboy ones reduced the "bounce" for me. The stock bushings are as rigid as a pencil eraser.
    Yr talking about how the shift knob looks like it moves aound a bit when in gear right? Thats normal (to a certain extent).
