Significant fore/aft movement of the shifter when it's in gear depending on whether you're accelerating or not is in my opinion an indicator of a bad mount.

Accelerate to 50 or 60, leaving the car in third gear, foot off the clutch. With your hand resting on the shifter, depress the accelerator (a good amount - say 80%), then roll back off the gas. Repeat a few times.

On my (bad) OEM mount, the shifter would move fore and aft a significant amount, but I initially chalked it up as a Boxster idiosyncrasy.

Since replacing with the Pedro mount, there is absolutely no perceptible movement.
