My shifter wont spring back in neutral
you know how any shifter springs back left and right when you put it in neutral
well my shifter will spring back from the right, but when i shift it left like i put it in first gear
it won't spring back in neutral from left
alot of people are telling me the spring is broken, i went to mazda today and had a hard time trying to find it, before i go and purchase i would like other opinions
here's a pic of what I think the spring is 17-4650
basically it is one coil like spring and one of the pins that connected to it broke, this is what i think
thanks, your help is appreciated

... this isn't normal behavior? Huh. Neither of my stickshift cars have the left centering spring.
Took a friend's TII for a spin and it had both centering springs. I thought it was just a TII tranny thing.

i have a problem pressing out the 9922-20-525 pin out
do i have to push it out from the other side or pull the pin out from the side cover (17-486A) side?

Mine used to spring back to neutral position but it doesn't anymore after I installed short shifter. So I thought shifter becomes heavier than the spring can handle....

neutral problems
I've got the same problem as well and posted the following thread :

However, I got very different responses about what causes this. I guess I'll live with it for now.
