Is this a 3d stick?

The pattern is right I just have to press down to get to the 1st / 2nd 
gear "column".
What do you mean by "lift"? Sorry if I sound Clinton-ish here but do you 
mean grab the knob and lift the stick or what? The spring seems to be 
fine. It pushes the stick back up into place correctly.
I crawled under the car today while my dad shifted and I couldn't see 
anything getting in the way or otherwise preventing normal shifting, 
however it sounds like whatever is "in the way" is happening right under 
the stick further back on the car when I am under the car with my feet 
sticking out from under the front). I cant get this far back with out 
jacking it up a lot more.
