I drive a MY96 Sport

I seem to have quiet a bit of problems changing gear at the moment, when say changing from 2nd to 3rd its usually just a case of pushing straight up and letting the springs take it across to the center... but it always jams in between 1st and 3rd... I can change fine if I take my time but its just a habbit to change in a very short time :/

What could it be? maybe the springs?

 

Hello!

When you are under the Car you see near the Position of the Shifting **** a Spring that is connected to the Gearbox (the Spring is aproxx. 3cm overall lenght) if this is broken or snapt of the OE Pos. the Gearknob doesn´t return!

 

mmm, I will have a look tonight if I can... though, it does return to the center, just there is **** all force there in its return.
