Hi guys
I have a left Shimano 105 5800 shifter that won't shift. I've opened it up a little and it looks as though the ratchet (might not be the correct term for this) no longer returns. It should be spring loaded, so my thoughts are that the spring has broken, but I can't see any obvious evidence of a broken spring. I have Googled this to try and get a view of what this "should" look like but haven't had any luck. I've added some photos of the part that should spring back but doesn't.
Anyone had this problem before and solved it?
Cheers

cheers to @scratchabit for the wheelset, for holding it while I repeatedly bailed, and for a decent chat. Good dude.

Appreciate your input.
It seems like it "should" be a fairly simple fix. If I tip the shifter upside down, gravity pushes the pawl into place and I can shift through all the gears perfectly well. It seems like the pawl just needs some pressure on it keeping it in place and without seeing the internals of this section I can't figure out where the pressure should come from/why the existing set up isn't providing any.
