Okay just looking for some help on what I need to buy/replace to fix this issue. My gearstick doesn't go back to the centre when in neutral, so if I wiggle the stick side to side in neutral the gearstick stays pretty much where I left it at either side and won't stay central unless I manually put it central, also feels quite gritty/stiff wiggling it side to side. This also seems to be causing another issue and that's getting the gearstick into reverse. I have to make sure to manually place the gearstick in the centre and slam down and quickly put it into reverse, if I don't do this it just pops back up after letting go.
I took the centre console and gaiter off etc and greased everything up and it doesn't seem to have helped, while doing this I noticed a piece of spring that seems to be broken.
I found a bit of that bronze metal clip thing in the slit (circled) just on the carpet right below where it is, so its obviously snapped but I'm just wondering if anybody knows if that's what could be causing the issue, so I know if I only need to replace the gearstick. Sorry if it seems like a stupid question but I'm not the most experience and I've asked a few people at my works what could be causing the issue and been told it could be all sorts of different things including the gearbox.
Any help would be massively appreciated, thanks in advanced.
