I think any way. I would like to think that I pay attention to every aspect of my car, but there is a chance I've just never noticed before.
Any way at any speed the shifter rocks forward and back what seems to me like a lot. Maybe up to 1/2" but more likely about 1/4" of play either direction. When car is off I can't reproduce by physical force, so it's only with engine on and rolling. I'll prob. have to take a vid I suppose if I can find some one to ride shotgun with me or something.
With my hand on the shift knob it still does it, I can't lessen the movement. It looks a lot worse than it feels. By grip it doesn't feel any different than it ever has. I just checked the transmission cross member (or whatever it's called... black piece about 3ish inches wide and holds the tranny up) and the bolts were tight.
I'm assuming if it's not normal that it could be the tranny mounts?
Car is about to hit 68k miles so I'm assuming it's about time to upgrade the mounts any way. Car is a DD with monthly track visits and "fun launches" on the street when safe.
Is ther a reccoomended brand or material? Or is OEM best? Car should be putting down around 400 rwhp at sea level and similar torque.
Thanks for any ideas or reccomendations in advance.
