Default AU II XR8 gearbox question

hi guys, ever since iv had the car iv noticed the gear shiffter doesnt spring back the middle when in neutral? It only springs back when i move it to the right, but when i move it to the left while in neutral, it jsut stays all the way over?
Does anyone have any ideas?

put a ripshifter in it, should solve the issue and make changing from 2-3 alot more fun!

I cant remember what returns the shifter in the stock linkage whether its springs or bush's but im sure someone here will know....

MY EB does the same its a wear and tear thing with 350000km's I'd go an aftermarket shifter as they are better quality, the factory ones arent that great

I am pretty sure you will find that in the AU's it is a bush that will return the shifter.

Cheers, Rhys
