Automatic shifter loose in drive
I manged to find a spot in the road where it dipped down for railroad tracks, and then immediately back up again for some kind of pavement hump. That may have nothing, or everything, to do with this. But when im in drive i have my hand resting on the shifter, and I can feel a lot more road feedback and vibration in the shifter now, and it seems a lot easier to move, almost like if i leaned on the shifter a little too hard, it would slide into neutral. i can wiggle it around in the Drive position a lot more than i think i should be able to. its just aggravating me, but is there anything Nissan could do to this under my extended warranty to tighten it up?

i am thinkin about taking this to nissan, cuz today while waiting for my food i was playin with the shifter, and i found it stupidly easy to change back and forth from 3 to D. when trying to go from 3 to 2, i actually have to put an effort into shifting, but in D i can lightly bump the shifter and it moves over. can this be fixed or adjusted or tightened?

its not normal for it to be this easy. i mean ive been driving the car for 2 years, and its NEVER been this easy. the 02-03 manual doesnt mention about it being easy, because its a different shifter than the 00-01. every other gear has the shifter basically locked into place, but in D i can wobbly the shifter around and brush against it to knock it into 3rd.
