Plastic Transmission shift assembly Sleeve

[toadybarker]

Hey Guys,

New member here, great info but here's my problem. My transmission knob/shaft passes (or more correctly passed) through a plastic sleeve that slides back and forth as I shift into Drive/L/P etc. This plastic started getting caught / stuck and I couldn't shift. Eventually it started to tear and in my frustration I just removed it (By Force). So now there a hole there. Not a problem except something could fall into the shifting assembly. Is this easily replaced or should I have a dealer do it... I don't really know how to get at that whole console / remove surrounding stuff and if it's a real bear to get everything off just to put that plastic piece back I will probably just leave it.. Any one got any info. Thanks, TB

What year is your truck?
Can you shoot a pic? Are you talking about the black decorative sliding piece?

Will try to post a pic

Yes - It is the sliding piece. I believe mine was Gray, been so long.

Can take a picture - they are worth a 1000 words I hear...

Thanks,
