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.

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.
