Default Stock Shifter O-Ring

The o-ring on my MN6 shifter broke into multiple pieces, some of which were lost, so I am unable to use it to match up to find a replacement. Does anyone happen to know either where I can purchase a replacement, or what the specific size is?

The lack of an o-ring is causing the metal piece at the top of the boot vibrate and fall down, and the noise is driving me batty.

TIA

Since the O-Ring is hidden, a small sized zip tie can also be used instead of the O-Ring. Tuck the small zip tie joint up next to the seam on the boot and you'll never notice it.
If you want an O-ring, then go to your local parts store and ask for a 1" diameter O-Ring. That will give it a snug fit.

Good luck

Thank you.

I'll be making a trip to my local Ace Hardware this weekend to preserve my sanity.

You're in luck. I am in the middle of a shifter swap! Take a quarter for reference!
