Which Ring are you talking a bout?

Any pics?

Do you mean the ring below the shift knob or the ring around the shift knob base?

Either one, I think they should be available... but if not, show us how broken it is and maybe one of the gurus here may be able to find you a first aid DIY..

You have plenty of selection on ebay.
For example:

Few months ago I too had to replace the knob and boot but that's due to wear on the boot ...

I hope you didn't break the piece at the base of the shifter.
