Can anyone tell me how...

I have a 1979 924 that I got for free that I'm restoring. It has the one-year-only z type 5 speed. The shift lever and near vicinity were disassembled when I got the car. My question is about the lockout spring: it was laying with the rest of the parts and resembles the one in the Haynes manual on the blow-up for this type of transaxle but for the life of me I can't figure out how it attaches and I'm a mechanical engineer! I believe its job is to provide some resistance when shifting into reverse. Any help here possibly with a photo would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, John

John, from the sounds of it you have the tranny apart correct.

if so do a search on the board for "CMXXXI AND transaxle AND rebuild"
spelt exactly like that in the search box, he rebuilt his and took very detailed picture,

I wish that guy was still around, I wonder what happened to him.
