The shifter in my '87 9kT moves a bit, especially when I lift off the throttle after accelerating or hit the gas after coasting. A bit of this is normal. More substantial movements are likely attributed to bad motor mounts. It's suprising that your upper mounts aren't cracked though. With the passeneger side wheel off and the inner fender out (like you're changing a belt) you can use a crow bar, breaker bar, or whatever to prise the motor away from the frame. I suspect you will find that the mount is cracked and broken allowing the engine to lift excessively (possibly to the limiter.) The rear mount also takes abuse, particularly since it is right below the oil filter and recieve a good dowsing of hot oil during oil changes. It's most easily inspected from underneath. These mounts don't last long, so if you have no record of them being changed there's a good chance they are shot. Remember though, there is always going to be some movement of the shifter.
