I let my mate drive my car today and he said that the gearstick doesnt return to neutral if it is moved to the lefthand side(1st and 2nd) however it does if it is moved to the right handside(5th and R). I didn't notice the problem only until he pointed it out.
However my uncle has a Focus Estate and he says it is the same in that, and my mates parents have a Estate too and its the same in theres.
Is this how the Focus Gear stick is, or is it a really common design fault in a return spring?
