Strange Clicking in 2nd

[94IndyCobra]

Hello,

I recently purchased a 1994 Cobra with 68k miles. It's in pretty good condition, and pretty much everything checked out from buyers inspections.

However, there is a clicking sound that occurs only in second gear, at any RPM (as long as I am accelerating). The previous owner claimed that the sound was a loose spring that needed to be reattached to a post, on the top of the transmission. But, everyone I have mentioned this to says that they have no clue what he is talking about. Is there a spring above the tranny that corresponds to second gear only? If not, any ideas on what the problem could be?

Also, if that is the problem, could it be reached by removing the console and unbolting the shifter? Because needless to say, removal of the transmission is a very tough job, and costs a lot of money to have done at a mechanic.

Thank you very much for your help,
