I have a plastic piece broken and can’t find a replacement for it. I don’t know what it’s called it’s shaped like a trigger with a little spring.

Hi,

I attached two pictures below. Could you take a look at them and let me know if the circled portion is what you are referring to?

Also, if those are incorrect, could you upload a picture of the part?

Let me know.

Joe

Hi,

The part isn't available separately. To get that part, you will need to get a different shift lever. The best thing to do would be to contact salvage yards.

The part is a shift paw. It prevents the shifter from moving when the shift release is let go.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Do you have a part number? I’m going to get a 3D printer service to try and make it.

Hi,

I think that is a great idea. However, because of the model year, I don't have a part number. The manuals only provide the labor rates.

If you can, could you let me know if they are successful in making it for you? I'm interested in knowing.
