I own a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze Eco with the manual 6-speed transmission. I ordered the car from the factory as the dealer didn't want a manual transmission equipped car on his lot. The car has now 77,486 miles. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the transmission shifter moves back and fore in 1st gear. If I accelerate in 1st gear, the shifter moves aft about one inch. If I decelerate in 1st gear, the shifter moves forward about one inch. I do not believe that this condition is normal, especially that it has not existed for the previous 4 1/2 years I used the car. Aside from this anomaly, the gear shift and the gear box work properly and very smoothly.
Can someone inform me of what is going on? Is there something broken with the mechanism holding the 1st gear in position? Does this need to be fixed immediately? Would the dealer have any idea what to do?
I will appreciate very much any response which may help clarify what is happening and I thank you very much for your cooperation.
