well, there is usually some give in engine and transmission mounts so when the engine torques up under load it is allowed to move a little. the same thing happens under decelleration but usually less movement. if the shifter is mounted to the trans then it will move a little with the driveline. if it isn't mounted to the trans, but has solid linkage-like rods-then the shifter can also move a little. if it is mounted to the floor and has cable linkage then it will likely not move becauise the cable absorbs the movement.
dunno if that made sense of it?
