I'm installing a B&M short throw shifter this morning & when I pulled off the stock shifter, I found this spring & curved piece of metal sitting inside the shifter housing. They weren't attached to anything, literally sitting on the bottom & I easily removed them. They were in the bottom right corner & I did have trouble shifting into reverse & occasional trouble on the 3-4 shift as well. This makes sense now as that's the location of those two gears so maybe they were interfering with the mechanism when it would go to the lower right.
Any idea what these could be from? The last pic shows the housing as it sits now - nothing looks missing to me. The car was shifting ok (minus the issues noted above) so I don't think they were critical to the transmission operation. I'm just wondering where they came from.
