Ok for those that have been in the trany, I see in the fiche that there is a spring, to return the lever up or down? :confused:
I find more and more lately that I have "double clutch" to go to the next gear, all gears. In a recent trip to mechanic to do something I didn't want to tackle (and to find out he didn't want to tackle it either! :confused:), he noticed a lot of slop in my gear shift lever and asked me why I didn't tell him about it. "I could have fixed while the trany was out" he said. "I said it's been that sloppy since day one (at 82k)".
So what does this spring do, hold the lever down or up? |

I would guess the grub screw connecting this shaft to the shift mechanism inside the box is your problem.
If you have a long travel in both directions......
The spring returns your lever to the normal position.
Take a search about this issue in this forum, and you find some more info.
You also find some info on this screw on Shog`s tranny thread, I`ll remember she did have some problem
to loosen this screw (a newer tranny, with another type of Loctite I`ll guess)
