the shifter is hollow because of the wires for the OD button. If it actually snapped off, you probably have to replace the handle or you might be able to epoxy it back on.

That one is weird. Usually it is just the little button surround at the tip which comes off. I have broke more than one of those. At least those you can get just the part from the dealer.

mine broke off 3 years ago, glued it back on with crazy glue, just don't hold on to it to shift, use the shaft.

Mine is broken. Bought the new handle. Now just gotta figure out how to replace it. Anyone have experience in this? Steering wheel come off? Or jus tpull the plastic off around the column and gain access that way.
