Can I stretch the detent springs in the trans? I don’t have an issue shifting but I don’t really feel the clicks when shifting. Obviously just a few millimeters

I wonder why 1-2 spring is shorter...???
I think your springs are mixed with the early and the late 1gs. 1G has 2 part numbers, 89/09.1 - 91/05 (MD723617, the shorter smaller coil) and 91/05.3 - 93.05 (MD741337, the taller larger coil).
I have 3 trans now and checked all springs. My early gvr4 trans has approx. 24mm for all 3 springs (MD723617, the left one in the pic), a dogbox that used to be a 91 trans has approx. 23.5mm (MD723617, the left one in the pic). and a 1gb trans has approx. 25mm (MD741337, the right one in the pic).

Yeah I checked the OD, too. The both 8mm. I think the only difference is the pitch. Anyways, the ball is the one that contact to the rail, so if there is decent pressure I don't think that's a big deal even if mixed.That’s strange? If you look inside, they all look like they have the same depth but I didn’t measured that. I stretched that smaller spring and installed a shim and it shifts fine. I first tried two shims before stretching it but it didn’t go into gear since that spring probably didn’t have any travel when I did that.
