This is what you have following shift boot replacement instructions and removing the PRNDL.


Then to get the indicator out


Mine was a little burnt and melted, also. Most likely that is what caused it to fail. I glued a piece of card stock to hold it together, there really isn't any stress on it so I hope it holds. Or check used parts like Gene's Kar Shop, maybe they have one lying around!


Good luck
