I'm going to try and help out, as I doubt too many people would take that piece of their car (especially since you can't find any)

I bought the second to last in the US. The last place I talked to was a Lexus dealership in NYC. It was in their display case. I think there's like 3 dealers in New York City...find that last one!

About 2-3 months ago. I'd still attempt it, because when I called all the places, they literally did not know they had it still, as it was in the display.

I wonder that if it was on display then it wouldn't be in their inventory. I work for Lexus and had my parts dept. try to find me one to no avail!

The parts guy here who helped, said there were 4. I called all 4 places (2 in CA, 1 in NYC and one on FL). The 2 who did have them showed they didn't. Until one got smart and went to the display case. Thats where the last 2 had them. I don't know about Lexus inventory system, but usually display peices get forgotten about

Wait, did you buy the one in the display case or did one of the dealerships tell you they had one in a display case? Also, which dealership did you call? I've been calling today and the people in parts aren't being that helpful ha.

Welp, nevermind! Called the dealership in NY and someone came in an hour before I called and bought it. Then I had my buddy at Lexus look it up and found one in SD, but that was also accounted for when I had him call back to order it. That's it then, no more short shifters out there. I'm going to find someone to work with to develop one then since it's just that little piece of metal.
