****** problem help

Mr. 29FordGuy:

We did not record any dimensions. The man who did the milling used a set of forks that showed little wear to set up his mill. For lack of a spring tool you can compress the spring in a vise and tie it off with safety wire in several places. Then cut the wire once it is in place. Compressing the spring in a vice is somewhat tricky.

The best tool I've seen for working on the shift spring is the one Vince Falter made and has pictured on his website. I've made 3 tools to R & R the gearshift spring, each tool better than the previous design. After seeing the tool Vince made, I now have to make a 4th tool for myself.

Could this spring and associated problems with R and R be elaborated on for a novice.

Here is the info on the shifter.
