- Thu Aug 14, 2008 5:42 pm #65968 Tried searching but no luck.

PROBLEM:
Ok so my gearbox is working perfectly.
However the gear stick is floppy even if a gear is engaged it will flop around in a horizontal manner.
I know there is a spring which I believe is in the gearbox itself which returns the gear stick in to it's original place when placed into neutral.

QUESTION:
How hard is it to replace this spring so the gear stick will return to its eutral state properly?
I have a B-series engine btw with a box which has an LSD.

Thanks

I would suggest polyurethane ones

Race cars are like boats I guess. Time to bust out another thousand.

- Fri Aug 15, 2008 9:08 pm #66154 nooo noo... not in the tranny.... happened to me.... I put in energy shifter bushings and a B&M short shifter and my shifter would do exactly what you are saying yours is doing. I found out that when I put my shifter in... I didnt put the right amount of these new rubber O ring things that came with the shifter. I put a few more in there and tightened the shifter fork pretty hard where the shifter is... now my shifts never move when I put it in gear.
