I have searched this topic but can't find anything (but apologies if this is going over old ground).
When my friend's 1991 NSX (70,000km) is in neutral, the shifter stays in what ever position you leave it in i.e. if you take it out of first and let go of the shifter it will stay on the left hand side between 1st and 2nd (rather than returning to the middle between 3rd and 4th) and if you take it out of 5th and let go of the shifter it will stay on the right hand side between 5th and Reverse (rather than returning to between 3rd and 4th). The shifter also makes clunking noises when shifted from side to side in neutral (i.e. at each end of the gate) which mine doesn't. This problem makes it difficult to find the right gears sometimes (particulary 2nd to 3rd).
Are there springs in the gate (which return the shifter to the middle) which might have stopped working? Any ideas on how serious/how to fix?
Thanks
