Shifter Plate: Where to buy one?
The car is a 06 LS with AUTO. I was trying to fix the issue where the key gets stuck in the ignition. And in pulling it apart the plate with the holes in it for the Park, Reverse, Neutral etc. cracked. I would like to get another but I don't know where to purchase it or even the technical name for it. I checked gmpartsdirect with no luck. Anyone know?
Also, the issue with the key was fixed for about 2 days now I its back to the way it was. I am thinking about throwing a rubber band around the metal clip/spring that releases the key so it is constantly released. Is this a bad idea?

WOW, where to buy a part? Now that is a tough one! Try going to your local Chevrolet dealer and the parts counter person will be able to look it up and tell you how it is serviced.

Hmmm... somebody not get there ***** eaten this morning? Check this out.. MOST people don't like paying dealership prices.. other people dont have common sense and just automatically go there first.. Me on the other hand, I like to shop around for the best price. Usually online. Unfortunately, I am having difficulty finding this particular part. So i decided to ask here to see if anyone knew where to get it. So if the dealership is the only place to buy this piece, you could have simply stated "that's a dealer part, and can't be bought any where else." See how easy that was? BTW? The plastic piece is cracked... I doubt very seriously they have a way to service it other than replace it, in which case I already know how it is serviced. But thanks for your input. It was greatly appreciated.

All you said is you didn't know where to purchase the part! As far as servicing it, the part may be available seperately or as part of an assembly. I wouldn't know without checking with a dealership. If you had something else in mind in your original post, I suggest you learn how to use the english language so others don't have to read your mind!
Sorry, i asked a simple question and broseph here got his foam in a bunch.
I checked there. I may be searching for the wrong technical name. That's why I asked.

I know how it's serviced. It pops off. If you need a dealer to tell you that, then you're in trouble.
Conerboner: Thanks for the simple response. I will hit them up.
