Gear Knob return spring?

[design22]

Hi Guys iv just bought a Signum 2.2 direct (facelift) and realised after putting it in reverse then into 1st, the gear lever doesnt push itself back down. So you end up putting it back into reverse unless you physically push the lever down!?
Iv had a look at it but cant figure out how it is meant to work? I took some pictures of it but i dont know how t reduce their size to upload them. Any ideas Guys? thanks

the spring sits in a recess under the gear knob , you wouldnt be a ble to see it unless you remove the gear knob
and they tend to break when doing this

only way to remedy it is to aquire a new gear lever from breakers and change the lot or an aftermarket gear knob and get a new spring
