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. |

It's been along time and I didn't take any photos. I recall using 1/4" threaded rod to compress the spring and get the plate in place. Then carefully turning the rod to remove the nut from between the spring and the plate. Then slide in the threaded rod out as you push in the slide rod. I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense. I Just remember it being a piece of cake once I figured out to use the threaded rod to compress the spring and keep it from popping out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
