I put my car into gear earlier to take the shifter trim plate off. When I tried to shift it back into park the shifter would not move. I pulled the white plastic rod out and found it broken. Is there any replacement available for this piece or any way to rig something up to work? Thanks!
Here is a pic of the broken piece.

What shifter is that? I think I have one of each if your interested.
Shifter is from an 86 XR7 with a C3 trans. I am going to look around in the salvage yards maybe tomorrow for one, but go ahead and PM me a price. I am pretty broke right now so it may just have to wait a while.
How about you PM me with what you think is fair and affordable for you. :D
I fixed one already with a small plastic bead. I ground it where it broke and added the bead.The bead came from like kids jewelry, like a beaded necklace.
Thanks guys. I did see on another message board where someone used a ball bearing to fill the gap also. I will see if i can find a replacement part today.
I got a replacement from the salvage yard. I also checked out the rod in a fox Mustang but it was too short. It would be nice if there was a place to get these new because after 20+ years they are all bound to be somewhat brittle.
