Seems to be only when i'm in 6th gear that when i press the gas the shifter movies down a little and when i let go of the gas it comes back up a little bit. just thought it was weird 0.o

My car does that too but it think it's because of the rear diff bushing being fubar'ed. Mine did it a alittle bit but its more pronounced after the rear diff bushing popped.

It's normal. Wouldn't worry about.

On older cars, where the shifter was mounted on the side of the transmission, you could get a lot of movement in the stick if you had drivetrain mounts that were sloppy or broken. IIRC, the Z shifter is in the middle of the trans so you may be able to feel the stick move up a little when in first. If it bothers you, I'd check the motor/trans/diff mounts.

You should have seen the way my 69 Cougar gear shifter moved when I would romp on it!
