How much does your stick shift move?

I just seemed to notice on semi ruff or bumpy roads, my stick shift seems to be moving around more that I remember. Note this is while in gear.
It doesn't have much free play while in gear when stopped?
The whole stick seems to be MOVING WIGGLING around in gear while car is moving.

Well yeah, it's attached to your gearbox so as it moves and wiggles around on its mounts, so does the shifter.

Remember the engine moves as well...

Check your engine and transmission mounts.

Still need to check mounts.I found what made me notice this, the dust boot surrounding the shifter had fallen out of the console lip..duoh! since it was dark when This happened i was seeing a lot of movement..Things look more normal now..I will still have the mounts looked over.Thanks
