Default couple questions

hi all,
was just wiping down the deuce and was wondering if the rear portion of the shift linkage(piece that comes up out of the tranny) should wiggle left to right? Obviously needs to move front to back, just wondering if it wiggling left and right is normal? also found the support(not really sure what it is called) going from the tranny area to under the seat loose, I tightened that down, assumed it shouldn't be loose, someone correct me if I am wrong...
thanks,
jon
