The large spring goes inside down at the very bottom of the transmission gear shift tube.

It is number 7379 in this picture. If you look at the tube number 7212 in the picture it has a landing a few inches up from the bottom. The landing sits on top of the spring, sandwiching the spring between the landing and the shift lever 7302.
