Gearstick reverse

When I put my gearstick in reverse it moves forward slightly as I go backwards. Its the bit you lift to go into reverse it pops down slightly.

Nothing wrong with the actual reverse gear and it doesn't jump out of reverse so yet again took it ot dealer who said 'its nothing to worry about and not someting they would be allowed to change under warranty as its the way Stilo gearstick is'

True?

Re: Gearstick reverse

Mine does the same, was also similar on Punto. Changed my gear Knob and its not so noticeable now, could be my imagination though.

It´s the movement of the engine tranferred through the gear linkages
