So I pulled apart my shifter while waiting for my new linkage bushings, and am now trying to put it back together. 2 hours later I still can't get the reverse lockout springs on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Anyone have a trick for doing this without a spring compressor or (gasp, I know) a vice? Do you do it with the guide rods that sit inside the springs in place or not? It's a stock side shifter. |

I have a large screw driver that I ground the tip so it will fit inside the spring and then let me push on it to compress it. I think I had to use a vice to hold the outer body and I pushed with one hand compressing the spring and then down with the other to get the spring to catch on the body and gently pull the screwdiver out. I made sure to wear leather gloves and safety glasses
