couple more newbie 911 questions

my apologies up front - i am trying to get this back to "feeling and driving right" as best as i can and with little knowledge of the 911 (other than i like it!!). These are in reference to a 1984 911 carrera

the 2 questions are how loose or sloppy does the shifter feel on these and how easily should this "roll" after moving forward or back? - after getting the windows back on track adjusted and working took it out for a spin - i noticed compared to other manual cars and trucks i drive or have driven - the shifter seems slightly wobbly for lack of a better term - sometimes hard to get into gear - not terribly hard but a firm response is needed. mostly first- once in gear its fine - i was not sure if there are some bushings that might need changed or if that is something completely different.

the rolling question - moving in reverse or forward - pop it out of gear or simply engage the clutch and it stops within a few feet - almost like i am applying the break (i am not and the e brake is disengaged - doubled checked on that) -

otherwise the drive was fine and everything seemed to be working just fine - but those 2 concerned me a little (lot)

any help or direction to look would be greatly appreciated

thanks

Sean
