My shifter flops left and right, when in netural or in any gear. Everything shifts fine but it has no 'spring.' Please help, thank you!

Are the 'detent spring bolts' the same as the spring pin on the shift rod? Is my problem internal or external of the transmission?

Sounds like the o rings in the bottom of the shifter are just melted from exhaust heat.

Time for a new shifter.
