Default Iv got a wobbly ****

For some strange reason my gear **** seems to have lost one of its springs that return the **** to the middle. Has anyone had this happen to them and how do I fix it?

Yup. Happened to mine as well. Its easy enough to fit once its up on a ramp.

I'd advise fitting two new ones rather than just replacing the broken one because the shift effort may be unequal side to side.

They are on the linkage just forward of the gear stick. Easy enough to see and get at on a ramp. The chap that did mine charged £5 including the springs.

The springs I need to change are they compression springs or expansion springs?
