Bob,
I had the same difficulty installing the spring, washer, and circlip =
last
month. After some thought, I made a very simple and inexpensive tool =
that
was VERY effective.
Take a 1 =BD inch PVC pipe, cut around 10 inches long
With a grinder, bevel one end.
With a grinder, cut two notches in the other end.
Tool is complete!
The retainer washer will just fit on the beveled and of the PVC pipe but =
not
slip onto the pipe.
The circlip will fit around the PVC pipe.
Place the spring and washer over the shift stick and onto the tower. =
Place
the PVC pipe over the shift stick and into the washer. Place the circlip
over the PVC pipe.
Now for the magic. With the doors open, take a string or cord, wrap =
under
the car and over the PVC pipe (laying it into the two cut notches). =
Pull
tight and tie the ends together. Then with a tourniquet knot =
(screwdriver in
picture), tighten the cord. This will push down AND HOLD the PVC
pipe/washer/spring. Use needle nose plyers to insert circlip.
See attached pictures
My description probably sounds more complicated than it is. Less than 5
minutes to make the tool, and less than 5 minutes to assemble =
everything.
Good luck. Any questions, just ask.

Thanks to those who helped me, I confirmed that the screws were not worn =
and
I needed a new nylon bearing. It snaped around the ball so I applied
lithium grease to the end and the sides of the stick and housing =
installed
the screws. When for a ride noting that the shifting was nice and =
smooth
like it should be. I did all this without removing the tunnel which =
makes
it difficult to install the springs and circle clip retainer into the =
tower.
Any suggestions?
