    Shift shaft detent spring/pin for 5th gear question (not lean issue)

    What detent spring/pin/ball keeps the shift shaft in 5th gear? Not centered left to right, but when you push forward into 5th.
    I know it is at the back of the trans, but there are several and I am not sure which one is for 5th.

    Thanks.

    That is for an E36... I have an E46 M3.
    I believe it is one of the circled ones on this diagram... just not sure which one is for 5th.
