Fixing an automatic shifter arm?

[Vbb199]

The column i recently installed in my c10 that i got from my buddy is nice, so much better than the jerry rigged 3 speed column with a ziptie.
The only issue is , the shifter arm doesnt return back to its place, it just stays up against the wheel unless i push it back. Normally i wouldnt care, but it quickly became annoying when i would accidentally pop it into 2nd gear or neutral....

When i got the column the arm was missing, so i stole one off a later year automatic and installed it.

Is there some sort of return spring im just missing?

Thanks

Yes, there is a return spring on the base of the shifter arm that should be pushing it to go back down

Oh goody... i'll look at it later and see if the spring might just still be there.
