Query from Wife ... Jiggly Megane Gearstick

Stuart's wife here - I'm looking for some help:
I've only ever driven two Meganes - one a 2001 1.6 Dynamique + Cabriolet, the other a 2.0 litre version - and only for about 15 minutes each on test drives. I've bought the 2.0 Cab
I noticed on both that the gearsticks were wobbling all over the place whilst in gear and in fact commented on it but as I was at a non-Renault dealership the guy just shrugged.
Should the gearstick have a mind of its own or is there a problem?
I often (slap wrists) drive with my hand resting on the gearstick. I'd hate to get all "unnecessary" with the jiggling about [:I]
Would this actually be a problem on such a relatively young car, or has this been a problem from the word go for the Megane? The car has only covered c. 23,000 miles.
Cheers!
Janine

My laguna is getting the same way, would be interesting to known quite whats going on, I would say though that its not usual and that there is a problem somewhere.
