So the spring has to be removed, the shifter ball placed, and the spring attached above? I was hoping that I might be able to spread the spring with some dental picks and whatnot, snake the shifter through the middle, let everything go and close it up. I'll just have to give it a shot once I get a 3rd and 4th hand around the shop.

Can the spirng be replaced without unbolting the tranny? Kinda hard to say since it has to slide out of the remote shifter rod and prior to that, the entire housing has to come out (held by 4 bolts to the tailshaft). then you have to worry about the shifter rod not lining up with the knuckles
Is there a way to get it realigned w/o opening the trans?
If the shift rod and/or the block that needs to come off to remove the spring, were a tiny bit shorter, it would be easy to replace w/o removing the trans. I think some modifications (grinding, trans, removed) could be done to make this possible.

I was hunting for what the spring under the shifter was for and how it is supposed to be positioned. I found this post and all the pictures are gone.
I think I figured it out. The part of the spring with the long hook to the left wraps around the right side of the shifting mechanism. Then you move the other side of the spring to the side and slide the ball on the shift lever into the hole and the spring holds it in place.

Wow, thanks for the pics.
I think this sets the record for the most times a thread has been brought back! Started in 2002, brought back in 2007, again in 2010, and now in 2012!
And with the pictures, it's actually useful enough to head to the archives! This thread has had quite the lively existence, for sure!
