Do you have the link to the site where you found these springs, please?I had something similar when the end of the little spring in the shifter snapped off, it would do the weirdest gear changes and then be fine for a while or the next bump and then it would play up again. I carefully disassembled the shifter and bent the remaining end of the spring to form a hook and refitted it. Getting a replacement spring from Shimano was impossible so dug around on the net and found a packet of 10 springs from China the right size on ebay and bought a packet of them. The temporarily bent spring is still going strong a few years later so the bag of little springs is still in my spares box.
