I've got a '99SE with a 5 speed with around 44k miles.

As it has aged, I've noticed a few things, and I'm just curious if they would be considered "normal" or "something to worry about".

My biggest question relates vibrations I get from the stick when I'm decelerating. For example, when I descelerating in 3rd gear (foot off gas) and the rpms drop around 2k and lower, I notice that the stick shift starts to bounce maybe 5-6 times. If obviously doesn't bounce enough to pop out of gear, but it seems to get getting stronger since the earlier days with the car. Some days, it bounces very little. Other days, it's pretty strong. Is this normal?

Thanks, and please, be gentle.
