Random question I know, couldn't find anything on the forum about it tho, so I thought I'd ask.
Car is a blast to drive!

yea thats normal. basically, the stick gets pushed slightly forward or backwards depending on whether you are accellerating or slowing down while the car is still in gear. i believe when you accellerate it moves towards the rear of the car (about a milimeter) and when you slow down while in gear, it moves a similar amount towards the front of the car. so yea, totally normal.
