Pete Said: "About 2 days ago, my shifter started feeling *very* loose, even unsprung, in 1,2,3,4. 5 and Reverse seem tight as ever," Sound EXACTLY like the return spring is missing. I wouldn't worry about anything else. With any luck, only one side of the spring broke, and it's still dangling there. Re-bend it so it looks like it used to, and re-install. I've had to do it twice now. -Ben 1994 Black SE-R
