I don't think that shifter interchanges to the older cars. Mopar does have a replacement for 'the pink thingy' - looks like it is made of white plastic , but I would guess that most dealers would replace entire shift assembly with original style and don't even want to know what they charge for that job. I figured with metal I would only have to replace it once... I see Dorman makes it also, don't know what material.
