TC shifter moving with engine RPM - Bootswork installed

I have the Bootswork shift linkage mod installed on my TC. I noticed this morning that the handle moves back and forth a lot when my RPM changes. Is this normal? I never noticed it with the stock crap linkage.

I also have new tranny and motor mounts as well.

Love the mod, so if this is part of owning it, I'm OK with it.

Mine doesn't move. I'd say check the bolts on your motor and trans mounts

I have the same kit and don't notice any movement. Willing to bet tranny or motor mounts are shot and now that the linkage is direct from tcase to lever, the drivetrain moving causes the movement of the linkage/lever. So much slip in the stock style it wouldn't have shown itself in that same manner.
