How do you get to the spring mines gone aswell
Me too, how is this replaced?
thankyou, this looks very usefull... ill give it a go.
Hello, thanks to all the useful advive on here I have successfully fixed my neutral spring return.
When I removed the heat shield under the car I found that the spring was intact and in place, so I sprayed some WD40 and Grease around the area and now the gear shift is as smooth as butter and returns completely to neutral!!

I will give it a go too this weekend. Mine is sticky too.
Try a scrapyard.
Thanks for the help ? no one around my area got a k11 in!
Lol lucky you! Mine is gone ?
well, when you smack onto the shifter, you can hear the springy sound from under the car.
all my micras had this.
I took a peak under the heatshield on my 1.4 last week, found that spring hanging down.
I honestly just removed it.
ratteling gone.
and I put it in neutral by hand. like in every other micra. no issues.
maybe I don't know how good it feels with a spring.

Just bought it from Nissan for 26 pounds ?
You just spent £26 on a spring the size of my thumb?!?
I assume that the dealership had big glass doors.....................................they saw you coming!!
Had no choice no one had one lol checked today and someone was selling a pulsar one.. disappointed ?I assume that the dealership had big glass doors.....................................they saw you coming!!
Had to be done!
£26 for a spring? Almost Unbelievable! The price of not doing your due diligence search for some of these multipack galvanised assorted springs at £2 that will do the job just fine.

Thanks for the links next time i’ll Remember ? and really needed it as it was annoying lol
A previous old K11 that I bought 5 five years ago down the local car auction cheap as chips, the gear lever was floppy not centralising in neutral. I found the springs hanging in position with the other ends snapped off.
As referred to by Polly P above, a simple repair using needle nose pliers to reform duplicate the springs hooked ends and reinstated at zero cost.
My kind of ten minuet DIY easy job!

Yeah when I went underneath there was no spring there it must’ve broke or been misplaced as I’ve put short shifter on itA previous old K11 that I bought 5 five years down the local car auction cheap as chips, the gear lever was floppy not centralising in neutral.

I've ruined my car ?
I'm sure you could get one for 26 cent..... That's ridiculousJust bought it from Nissan for 26 pounds
That’s the ridiculous Nissan Main Stealers taking the Mick out of its customers whenever they can get away with it?

Preaching to the choir my man. When I first got mine I picked up some caliper bolts from a dealer. £5 each
Well today I’ve just noticed it broke again that’s 30 quid down the drain
That doesn't sound right. Go back and complain
(unless theres something wrong with the car)After putting the short shifter on nothing seems right lol struggling to find gears sometimes tooThat doesn't sound right. Go back and complain
I have the same problem and i cannot find a new one. I am trying to find a similar one. I know that the length is 42mm, but i can't find the width of the spring. Does anybody know the size or just a similar one from ebay?
Buy an assortment box of springs at local motor parts trade factors & take your pick.
Assorted Galvanised Expansion Springs or Set Sizes Available Choose Yours | eBay
GALVANISED EXPANSION SPRINGS. Expansion Springs. TECHNICAL INFORMATION.

The original Spring had a red 'rod' inside the coil to stop it bending.
Replace with a spring same length with reasonable tension.
Also found on mine the gearbox linkage was tight. Released the bolt and added a lock bolt.
