Don't know that the spring would do that...your cable might be on its way out! Mine had a floating bite point for a week or two before it decided to pack it in on a warmish day. I'd step on the pedal and it'd just plunge into the floor with bugger all resistance, and couldn't get it in or out of gear without polishing the teeth a little. Had to park it and walk the last few km home, then went and collected her late at night when it was colder with no traffic. The next day I managed to get her to my mechanic 45mins away by only using 2nd gear.
