Default How much should the stick move when I give it gas?

Say Im cruising in 3rd, and get on it , My whole stick moves to the right about a 1/2 inch, like the trannies twisting or something, no noises though, is this a bad tranny mount?

I noticed this with my car also, but it was greatly reduced now that I have a polyurethane motor mount. I also have poly trans and torque arm mounts, but the motor mount is what reduced the movement of the shifter stick.

Just like mine. I checked my trans mount, looks good to me. Sounds normal.

It is the torque of the motor moving the transmission. Naturally this is going to happen since there are 8 bolts connection the motor to the bellhousing on the transmission.

It shouldn't torque over 1/2 in. Check your motor mounts.

Get poly engine and trans mounts. It'll stop.
