What I meant was that it never had a return spring, it all just seems to be held in place by fitting well. Though I am beginning to thing that it is something to do with the gearbox - I just drove back to uni and now taking off in first gear is a real lottery, sometimes it all goes smoothly, and other times just as I start moving it erupts in massive grinding noises that start dogs howling for kilometers, so I guess it is time to find a new box. I was really hoping that this one would hold out until I jammed an RB in it too.
