I am having trouble getting that chrome ring that goes around the transmission shifter plate that comes on the new GS. The dealers keep telling me that I have to order the shifter plate as well. I remember a few members that said they were able to order that part alone. I remember it was only about $20 too!

If you take apart the wood and the console, you'll see that the shifter ring comes off with the wood, and it's easily removed. The shifter plate is totally unrelated with the ring and that piece doesn't need to be bought.

However Lexus sucks when it comes to getting replacement OEM parts. Driver side AC-vent cover broke on mine, I have to buy the WHOLE driverside A/C vent unit for 150 bucks. RIPOFF.

Cool Re: Black Chrome Shifter Plate

Hey Guys,

It's called the "PRNDL" Plate ring I got mine when the GS430 was introduced. You can order at Longo Lexus Parts Department and ask for John Atwood and tell him Dr. Chang sent yeah. I paided around 20-25 bucks.

got mine for free. but u will have problems making it fit. unless you have a 2k1. which would already have it. one side will fit snug but the other will not fit into place. so u will have to rig it like i did. i used some 3m adhesive gel and it worked like a charm. hope this helps.

MP, do you have a pic of your shifter? I want to see how much adjustment is needed to make it fit.

thanks

I called Longo Lexus today. The parts guy told me that he cannot get me the chrome ring alone. I have to spend atleast $130 for the entire part with the shifter plate.
So,,, where can I get just the chrome part
Thanks

Longo Lexus gave that other guy the part for around $25....I guess just mention him, tell him you want the exact same part he got, and that's it!

Maybe that guy who got the chrome ring should call Longo himself to help you set up the buy

also, we need a part number here, whoever has the part, please give us the part #, thanks!

Has anyone looked at www.copartfinder.com they usually have several totaled Lexus and they give them to you according to the distance they are from you. They always have GS400 on there. Check it out.
