Unfortunately, as soon as I put it back on I realized it did not feel the same as the right side. The left side did not have that spring tension, so now it "engages" with the slightest touch. I ended up finding the spring, but now I can't disassemble the part all the way down to reach the area where the spring goes. 
I know how to get the paddle shifter off of the steering wheel. My dilemma removing the actual paddle(-/+ part) from the black assembly case(highlighted in red in pics). Or does anyone know how to remove the circular pin found at the bottom of the shifter? That's whats actually keeping the paddle attached to the assembly. If anyone has done this or can provide any assistance I could really use it. Don't feel like paying a few hundred for the part. |
Push the pin you have circled in red out and the electronics parts should separate from the housing (it should go out easily from one side). Then you can replace either the housing or the electronics or like in your case it will give you access to put the spring back in place. Push the pin out carefully and note how the other end is latched to the paddle shifter housing so you can put it back. I had to do this recently to install new paddle shifters, so I had to replace the housing using the above described process.
