Default Broken shift knob insert

Hi everyone,

I broke my 6-speed shift knob insert this morning and I'd really like to replace it. Does anyone know where to get a replacement insert, or if it's even possible to replace just the insert?

Alternatively, does anyone want to sell me their stock knob?

Dealership for the part, you out of warranty? It may be covered.

I believe I'm out of warranty. I'm talking about the little plastic insert on top of the shift knob that has the 1-6 gear diagram. Mine now has a fabulous spiderweb crack throughout it. Uugh!

Call the parts at your dealership. Likely it's adhesive backed or something.

I just ordered a shifter knob earlier this morning. Send me a PM and if you are willing to pay the shipping I can send you my old shifter once the new one comes in.

I like the billet shifter.

I have the billet temp controls and shifter bevel so I thought I would completed the set. I won't be getting the e-brake handle though, it just seems to scream 'overboard'.
