I have a question about the shifter springs. I just got this tranny so I'm not sure what it is supposed to do. The springs that center the shift handle, is that part of the shifter or the transmission? I noticed on the stock shifter when I push the handle left to the 1/2 position it will return the the 3/4 position if I leave it in neutral. However, when i push the handle to the 5/6 position it will stay there even though it is still in neutral. Is it supposed to do this? I figured it would always return to the 3/4 position when in neutral. Do I have a bad spring and if so is this something a new shifter would fix or does something in the tranny need fixed?

Shifter springs can weaken over time. Get an aftermarket shifter.

So the springs are in the shifter not the transmission? I don't want to get a new shifter if it won't correct the problem.
