I have noticed that EVERY OTHER RX8 that I have looked inside of has the silver shifter base ring in it, but for whatever reason mine does not. I found a person on Ebay that was selling an entire console for $99 obo and I messaged them about the ring, but they wanted $75 to ship it to me . So, if anyone has one they can sell (hopefully quite a bit cheaper) let me know.

Thanks,
Larry

He's talking about the silver plastic trim piece I believe.

 

You're right, I'm looking for that piece. Is it supposed to come on all of the 8's? I bought mine used and the shift **** was loose when I got it, so I figured that the prev. owner may have had the short shifter in it at one time or something.

 

I'd suggest calling your dealer and having them look up the part.

 

Thanks for the input.
