shift gate mod?

Has anyone modded the shift gate on their c43. My plastic crap inside the shifter gate is all broken. I am trying to think if there is a way to mod it. Maybe with a shift knob and shift boot from a c32? Just a thought.

i still have my stock shifter gate going on, but i know performance products has a stainless insert that you can put in there. also, not sure what year you have, but 98's had a black plastic insert that you may be able to get your hands on.
