Is this normal?...xA

When I engage in first gear lately, I can feel the gearshift(manual) pull back towards me?

Sounds normal. The engine and trans are on rubber mounts. When you accelerate, the engine/trans moves. This movement is transmitted to the shifter.

There's a TSB on this for the xA/xB shifters. Basically, it says to ensure the clips holding the shifter cables are fully socketed in their sockets. Weird things can happen when they get loose.

Where is this TSB? If TSB's are so important why do all the places I try and access them want money? The ones that archive them for free are usually quite a few months off.
