Default Plastic ring around manual shift boot replacement

Dealer a few years ago broke the plastic "ring" around my manual shift **** that holds the leather boot to the center console. Just sort of noticed the problem recently and cant really go back to the dealer since it was such a long time ago. Does anyone know where I can buy one? Parts conveniently discontinued the piece. Thank you.

I know there is a metal replacement, but not sure where to get one. Someone will chime in.

Metal rings are on the big auction site or from Redline Goods. $40. Try a Corvette salvage yard for a OEM plastic ring.

A very good alternative to the factory plastic ring.

I replaced mine with the metal ring from fleabay. That was a couple of years ago. One of those fixes that worked so well I forgot about it.

Look up on eBa_:

I have one in my 98, better than the orignal plastic one.
