Been helping my friend fix up a '74 2.0 that came to us in boxes. After going through the shifter bushings I noticed that his stock shifter appears to be spring centered. Has anyone seen this before or is it just mine that isn't...?

More important than the springs, which are more than adequate for the job, is the condition of the moving plate. They were wearing out when the cars were still in warranty, and there probably aren't a lot of cars out there with good ones. A competent weldor could repair one if they're NLA. Sometimes the shift lever itself is worn, too, and that's an easy fix for the same weldor.
