I have a 1g n/t eclipse...not too long ago i had a friend install a new clutch on it....ive driven it for 700 miles with no problems....i dont think this has anything to do with the clutch, but i noticed when i drive...if i look at my shift knob, it wiggles back and forth. When i accelerate it locks into place...and when i take my foot off of the gas it comes back....also when i first start it up in the morning and im driving it pops out of 4th gear. Some people have been telling me synchros and a whole bunch of other possibilities...and some told me to just replace the tranny fluid. Any ideas? Help is appreciated.

If you didn't have this problem before your friend installed the cluch then it's something your friend didn't tighten you something and it unscrewed itself so I would take it back to hime and let him check out.
