Seat rises and falls with gear swing?

Hmm, "completely normal" as in they see it on some Mooneys and aren't worried about it, or "completely normal" as in it's in ALL Mooneys?

In context, I will say 'some Mooneys'  

When I described what I felt, they both shrugged it off and said "that's normal" and "nothing to worry about"

I did not think to ask vintage specific, or model specific. I guess I should have.

I paid careful attention to the landing gear action in my 1994 M20J during some landing practice last evening. During extension, there is a "thud" when the gear locks down, but no noticeable movement of the floor. There is no similar thud and no noticeable floor movement when the gear retracts.

That's a perfect description of how my 1970 M20F behaves.
