I did it recently and to get the spring to stay compressed, I collapsed it in a 
vice then wrapped wire around it to keep it compressed------dropped it into the 
hole, placed the circlip then cut and withdrew the wire.  Worked for me.

Has anyone replaced the gear shifter retaining spring lately on a center shift 
4 speed gearbox. I am replacing one now with a new spring and I am having a 
difficult time with it. I have replaced several in the past but cannot remember 
having such difficulty with it. It seems that the last "ring" of the spring is 
too large and it does not want to go in its place to fit the washer. 
Consequently I cannot even think of fitting the circlip into its groove.
