Default A8 D2 Gear Lever Button Spring

Here is a strange one that I have been trying to resolve today.

The Gear Lever in my A8 QS has a button on the side you press to release the lever so you can change gear.

All works well and as it should.

But there should be a spring attached to it to hold it in, mine no longer has that spring

Its there to pull the button in and make the action nice on it, but now its failed and flops around a bit hence how does one fix it?

The button does not seem to want to pull out (I have used some force but not gone too far not wishing to break it), plus I cannot see how you can take it apart?

The other option is to buy one with a working spring from our sponsor but I always like to try and fix these things if I can.
