everytime i start my 99 tacoma my gear shift flops from side to side,
when im driving and give the truck gas then let off it moves back and forth. is this normal or do you guys think that i have a loose crossmember?

Oddly enough, the past two generations of Tacoma's that have automatic transmissions are known for that same problem.
