Default Gear Shift Vertical Movement

I previous had listed the same topic two days ago. I thought the gearshift only moved up during hard acceleration ; however I just was out and observed that it moves up the 1/2 inch as soon as I give it any gas. Thought it was the support beam , what do you guys think?

Like he said - check the bolts on the c-beam - if loose, shifter moves up & down. :flag

Hmmm. Interesting. I had an RS Camaro that did this for years. :confused: was told it was normal with the natural movement of the drivetrain.
