Default Broken Manual Shift Knob...Best Source For OEM Replacement?

What's the best source for the best price on a Mopar manual shift knob for a 2008 manual shift knob?

I broke mine chaning out the shift boot.

Thanks!

Edit...Bought one on Ebay. Hopefully it goes on easily.

The trim ring on my shifter broke in my hands. Luckily I still had interior warranty so that got swapped out. The shift knob is just press fit on. If you can muster the force to pull the old one off, the new one should go on easy. I would do something like soak it in hot water first though.

So you just press it straight on with no side to side wiggling? How much force do you need to press it on?

Thanks!

just enough.

It's hard to say, for me it was a nice solid press, for others it might be a four or five star grunt fest. I had to do mine after Safelite broke my trim ring changing my windshield, yep still hard to believe. They also denied they broke it, never dealt with them again and steer people away.
