Gear stick not returning to centre position

[l1ca]

Hey guys, need a little help with my Rev 3 turbo.

As the title really, my gear stick does not return to the centre position, and will instead stay where ever it is put.

Any ideas what may be causing this?

ive got the same problem firend of mine is stripping the selector from the gearbox and removing any rust or replacing if needed its a shaft with 2 springs on it to pull it bac and fourth also there is a spring on the side of the gearstic see how that is or if one is there sometimes people lose them

Check the spring on the selector.

I put some hose over the ends which means the left to right is a little less sloppy. But should return to center easily.

I had this on my 1st MR2, it was near 10 years ago so my memory might be a little off.

At the gearbox end there was a cube that the selector arms pivoted on, removed that, cleaned it up.

Or something along those lines.
