Gearlever "springing"

[Bremith]

I've just tidied up the bits and pieces of my gearshift. It's a 4 speed sporto with the early style shifter with similar action to 901/911.

I've set it up with spring resistance against pushing to the left for the Reverse and Park plane in Sporto (equivalent to R-1 in 901/11).

I now have no springing between the 4 forward gears ie no spring in either plane (ie L-D or D3-D4 in the Sporto, equivalent to 2-3 and 4-5 in 901/11).

Do people set them up with some mild resistance so there's a level of Spring resistance pushing it to the right (D3-D4 in the Sporto, 4-5 in a 901/11?).

Hope my question makes sense!

For those unfamiliar with sporto

I don't think that there should be any resistance in 1-4. (There isn't in mine.) I read somewhere- that I conveniently can't find- that you set it up so that 1st is just touching the spring plate and the others should sort themselves out.

How did you get on with the vacuum pressure?

Will measure today Bill.
