I don't think that is a shaft shaft detent spring problem. Symptoms indicates a bad synchroniser ring.

Shift detent spring is behind the locking blot at side of transmission. There would be 3 bolts in a line near to each other somewhere near the shift level on transmission housing. The center one would be for the shift fork,
