83 4-speed question

On the gearshift holddown retainer, what's the technical name for it? The one you push down and twist to keep the shift lever in the tower.

1983? 4x4 4-speed. Not sure of the year yet.





And, isn't there supposed to be a spring under the stick?
It's been way too long since I've had one of these apart.
Thanks
Steve

Do you see that piece at the bottom of the page in this link? Don't even know if I have the right 4 speed, I picked a NP435. Scroll all the way to the bottom for the shifter tower section and shifter parts.
