T56 Shifter Centering

I'm having some difficulty locating the centering springs for the stock shifter. I believe I'm missing a spring or something. Can someone assist?

Re: T56 Shifter Centering

Those look correct.

On a stock installed 4th gen Hurst, I found a drivers side .480 o.d. spring, .872 long, .064 wire, with 6.75 coils.
Passenger side had the same plus a smaller .302 o.d. spring with .924 length and .043 wire.
and a .042 shim. over both.

Is Hurst no longer offering them?

Funny, I didn't know that Hurst made the stock shifter. Upon looking up Hurst shifter springs I found a couple of places that sell the springs. Thanks man.
