Shifter moves when I let off throttle?
In third gear, when you let off the throttle, the shifter moves.
Doesn't make any noise or cause any problem, but it is definitely moving and more than before.
Could this be a motor mount problem?
Thanks for any insight

Check the PPF first. If it's on it's way out, it's only short matter of time before it breaks in two, and the sound of a broken PPF banging against the floorboard is pretty crazy.
A broken PPF a while back made my shifter move up and down significantly. With a replacement PPF and new motor mounts, the shifter will still move up and down very slightly. With the PPF and poly motor mounts, my experience is almost no shifter movement at all, and no visible engine movement, even on the dyno. Of all my suspension mods, the poly motor mounts also made the biggest difference in reducing rear wheel hop. Expect some engine vibration below 2000 rpm if you go this route.

I have Banzai motor mounts and I agree with all of this statement.

Threads into the driver's side rear of the PPF horizontally? I guess it's a bolt, but a pretty wacky looking one at that

I had noltec mounts put in by rotaryressurection last year when he rebuilt the motor. There was a little vibration below 2000 rpm when i picked it up, but by the time I drove it all the way back to MI from TN, the vibrations were gone. Couldn't be happier with the upgrade! Shifiting definitely feels more solid now.
The difference between noltecs and other polymounts like banzai's is that there isn't a bolt shaft going all the way through from the engine to the frame - which to my mind provides a direct path for vibration to travel. Check with Fritz Flynn - he had a set when I was looking to buy one last year.

My shifter rocks a bit on/off throttle only in the "forward" gears (1, 3, 5), but does not move at all in 2 and 4. I've driven with the tunnel cover removed and the trans is not moving at all when this happens, just the shift lever. The last transmission I had did this too (before it died on a downshift to 3rd on the track). I figure the sliders are being pulled back in those gears for some reason, not sure why there's play there.
