me too. this time I unbolted the lever's socket from the shift fork.
then put the spring in. thne re-attached the socket. and tightened the
lever's mounting down at the bellhousing. Now the noisiest red lever in
the history of the universe has had it's rattle sufficiently muted so
as to not require the hat to be hung on it anymore which previous to
the above described repair was the only way to quiet it down. It does
still rattle but now it is a at a pitch that is more like a distant
sewing machine than a dentist's drill being used on hammer setting to
shatter your teeth. The sound from that lever was capable of liquefying
inner ears. I wouldn't be shy about slathering the whole socket/ball
set-up with some sort of thick grease either -although I ran out of
time and daylight so I didn't. That might create a cushion for the
vibrations that might otherwise eventually worry that inexpensive stock
anti-rattle spring loose from its mooring.
Did he say "mooring?"
