Replaced my shifter today...
Nothing was wrong with the mechanism, but that center plastic strip disintegrated because of alcohol spray I used.
Replacement wasn't that difficult as I followed part of Noah's Center Console removal on YouTube:

I had to do the same thing for my wife's 2014 Mustang. The stupid plastic strip disintigrated. I looked for over a year for just the plastic strip with no luck. I had to buy the whole shifter assembly out of a wrecked car. It was in decent shape but not as good as the one already in the car. I had to take apart both assemblies. That was not fun.

I paid too much to replace the entire unit when I only needed the plastic strip.
But you have me thinking, I will take mine apart and try to replicate the piece using my 3D printer. Maybe others have the same problem.
