Default Shifter really loose when in gear? need comments

After the swap was done I noticed that, unlike my Accord, when you put the car in first gear you can still wiggle the shifter back and forth like it is in neutral. There is no problems with it popping out of gear or anything but on my accord when it is in gear you cant move the shifter side to side hardly at all. Can anyone tell me what i should be looking at?

Yeah you can work around the exhaust. Try ordering them from http://www.inlinefour.com, that's where I got mine.
