Zf auto shifter assembly

[SIMBAD]

Evening all, just wondering if anyone has played around with the auto shifter?

 

Id like to give the shifter in manual mode a firmer Shift feel. Has always felt way too soft for my liking and have a few times accidentally shifter the gears unintentionally.

 

I haven’t pulled mine out to see how it works exactly, but after some digging around online. All I’ve found Is that in the Au-ba workshop manual on the 4 speed sequential shifter is a “torsion” spring that I think I might be looking at to replace, or find a stiffer option to get that firmer feel I am after. Or am I completely off the mark and has something more to do with switches that engage the up or down shift?
 

So if anyone has had a play around with it before and can point me in the right direction, that would be sweet.

 

Cheers.

Mate, I was just looking at the spare one I picked up. Its def a spring and that white plastic bit looks like it can be pulled apart. If you could figure out a way to energize the spring or match up a stronger one you'll be golden.

I picked up this one because my car wasnt wasn't going into performance mode. I later worked out the tiny little metal tab that activates the PRND light was missing from its little holder and wouldn't pick up a signal when moved over to performance mode.

Thank you for your response mate! 
I might track down a spare as well to have a play with 👌🏼

Cover the post and I'll send it down mate. I can't see myself using it.
