It's unseasonably cold here so no work on the car outside yet (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif). Figured maybe I'll work inside on the shifter this weekend. I didn't see a thread on restoring the shifter. Is this something that just requires a good cleaning, or should it be disassembled, cleaned, painted, and new grease added? Pics of mine below.

What's the technique for compressing the spring? I put the screwdriver in a bit, put the spring on the screwdriver, press it with my fingers to get some compression, then put vise grips to hold the spring against the plate, then I've tried all the techniques I can think of to compress the spring but no joy... I've tried channel locks, caliper spreaders, and even a pipe wrench... It's difficult to control the spring.
