The tranny rebuild section in the FSM has pics. If I remember, it only fits correctly one way. The coil goes in front of the shifter pocket, around the shift rod, and the loop comes up and over the pocket towards the back.

To me it's enough of a pita to install, I don't.

Bottom line is you have to open the tranny up in order to replace the spring on the shaft. Since you are already I would reccomend to rebuild it.

Or you could just live with it til your tranny starts to go. It will not hurt anything. The springs purpose is to keep tension on the shifter so you dont have side to side play.
