Perhaps you can jerry-rig something?
Ha.
The pawl is accessible once the gear indicator cover is off and the brake level is pulled. The spring is tiny and the way it is (was) attached to the lever has a unique shape. There is no way I can do anything with so little space in there. I rode the bike to work this morning and just as I suspected, the shifting to the larger cog doesn't always work right away but with a quick down shift to smaller cog to get the lever moving I can immediately shift back up. I expect the problem to get worse as the weather gets colder.
