I can't tell exactly, but at worst you are looking at the entire shift cover assembly #3, which sells for $25 - $35.

If you are lucky it's the Dust Cover # 11, less than 5 bux.

did you just break one of the arms off? its not that big of deal. just put the borken one back in when you install it and the other clips should hold the shifter assembly in place.

ya im talking about the white thing that goes around the ball that kinda holds the shift lever in place. (it also took a while to get out) luckily that guy didnt break it into pieces i have about 3/5 of it left. so when im in neutral and i move the shifter to the left it kinda just stays there a bit but when i move it to the right it moves back

does anyone know what that piece is called????

a new assembly costs 88 dollars. you cant buy that little holder seperately unfortunately

[chinkyy]

awww man but do u think i can live with only 3/5 of that nothings would go wrong right???

as long as it holds the shifter lever in place and doesnt make you miss your shifts then i would not worry about it. maybe its a good excuse to buy the mugen short shifter assembly. ha ha ha

You could try cramming dense foam (like the stuff used for packing computers) into the area where the claw is missing. This would provide support and a little springing, self centering action.

Kind of Ghetto, but it would work as long as it isn't deteriorated by oil. It hides under the shift boot, correct?

i was going to sell the lever and buy the mugen one but we already got so far cuz this took us 4 hours -_- due to my lack of research
i mean it works im gonna try to put the other piece back on i also lost some of those plastic tabs for the center console too man you always lose those little tabs

If it's not an easy fix, go ahead and get Mugen lol

i dont know what to say but hey it broke for some good reason i think its meant for you to get the mugen =P good luck on fixing it =)
