While finishing up putting everything back following my IPOD install, I loss the blue piece of plastic that sits between the gear shift and the gear shift ****..Does anybody have any idea of what this part is called so I can pick another one up from the dealer.

 

This may help

Thanks I should have specified I have a 2005 sedan A/T. But I was able to find the 350z equivalent schematic:

It appears the 350z equivalent is the adaptor-compression rod..I was able to figure out the the plastic piece Im missing is what allows you to shift in and out of Park when you press the gear shift **** button. The Z version looks different from the one that the G uses so I don't think they are interchangeable. Back to google...

 

That's surprising, I would have thought the Z & G parts would be interchangeable.
Why not just call or email Riverside, I'm sure they'd have what you need.
