WTB - M6 Shift Boot Retainer: 97+ Interior

The plastic retainer clip that holds the shift boot in place on my Z broke into like 4 pieces. Some of the pieces were lost when they broke off.
Now my shift boot wants to sag into the console.
I tried to get one at GM, but they make you buy the shift boot as well and want me to pay $90 for that, just to get this little piece of plastic.

By some small chance, does anyone have one that I could buy off them?

I need one too...but $47 for that plastic piece isnt worth it. I just took the the boot out till I get one to replace it.

thanks for the link chevycamaro210, but i have to agree with donohue, still a little much for this little piece of plastic. might as well ebay it if i'm gonna start spending more then $10 or $20 bucks for it
i tried to epoxy it, but when putting it back it (even being very gentle) broke again. its so brittle.
i'll try a different type of adhesive this time
thanks for the replies

e-mail this guy: farmer22@comcast.net

He makes metal shift boot retainers for camaro and firebird's, both LT1 and LS1 if I'm not mistaken. I know I saw someone post on here about them getting one for their LT1 z28, and I just ordered one for my 94 TA. They are cheap also, less then $20 and metal!

Great guy to deal with, spread the word.

Yep that's the guy. He goes by farmer2 on ls1tech. You can try and send him a pm there if he doesn't respond. I've had mine for more than 2 years now and it's holding up great, and sturdy as hell.
