MT: 'Play' in gearshift - OK??

Hi,

I have a quick question - i have noted just recently (this week) - that with my relatively new (< 1 month) acura tsx, there is a small amount of 'play'/movement in the gear stick when it is in a particular gear - that is, with the clutch in or out - the gear shift can be moved a small amount - i would guess 1/2 an inch of so....

is this normal/OK??
thanks

A little bit of play is normal when in gear.
