gearbox/shifter return issues

[the hat]

basically while at teesside for ndc checkout driftworks.com for a quick pic on the homepage :D

basically my shifter now just flops over to first and second with no return spring if that makes sense and it was generally making the upshift to 3rd really hard

any ideas whats required too fix it

Have you taken the gearstick out? It might just need reseating if its been drifting :rollin

ive pulled the shifter outta my spare gearbox too have a look but all i can see is a liitle spring clip kinda thing if that makes sense

[m1tch]

Indeed, the ball of the shifter should sit under that

yup i thought as much but my question is what actually returns the shifter too its central position
