I have a 1994 Dodge Stealth with a manual five speed.
When traveling on a flat stretch of road I have noticed that if I alternate between accelerating and engine breaking that the gear shifter moves back and forth about 3/4 of an inch.
I can't say for certain that it has not always done this, but I have only recently noticed it and I am wondering how much movement would be considered normal and how much would indicate a problem. The amount of movement does vary a bit depending on the gear I am in. It is most notable in fifth gear.
My first thought was a loose motor mount, but my initial examination of those didn't show anything obvious. Are there other things I should be looking at?
TIA
