Hi, I just wanted to check if there is a problem with my car or whether they all do it.

If I shift into first or second gear and wiggle the gearstick there is no lateral play at all (feels nice and tight). If I then shift to third or forth gear I get a slight lateral play (maybe 0.5cm side to side). When shifting to 5th or 6th and wiggling the gearstick I get even more lateral play (1cm side to side)

This doesn't seem right to me, can you all check yours please guys!

I should note the play is when it's in gear.

Me neither my old Audi A4 which was on 120K had a far tighter stick  :laugh:

Is your wiggle consistant on all gears or does it wiggle more on the higher gears?

There is a bush you can replace at the bottom of the gear stick, only cost about £4, you could always try that...  :happy2:
