An email from George...great customer service to boot!!! Start from the bottom and read up.
the springs are a wear item but they should last at least 30-50k miles. they will need replaced maybe every 3-4 years. if you want you can send the shifter back and i can check it over and put some new springs in it. they are a bit hard to remove on the older shifters because we used flat head screws that are quite tight. i would not want you to damage the shifter or your console trying to break them loose. i can also give it a good checkup with new grease, springs etc. for you. i can then mail it back with the new handle and all you pay for is the handle and shipping.
regards
