Default 1998 Dodge Dakota

Hello everyone. Does anyone know where I can scoop up an automatic shift assembly to replace a broken one? The know is actually broken and the wires for OD is unsalvageable (I've tried).


Also, does anyone know how I actually replace the whole shifter? Any help would be much appreciated.

This is for a 2000 but it should be close:

GEAR SHIFT LEVER
REMOVAL
(1) Support the steering column assembly as shown in (Fig. 11) using a suitable size socket and back-up support.
(2) Disconnect over drive switch wiring.
(3) Using a drift of the appropriate size drive the knurled pin out of the steering column and gear shift lever. Remove the gear shift lever from the steering column assembly.
CAUTION: The pin can only be removed from the direction shown (Fig. 11).
INSTALLATION
(1) Support the steering column using a suitable size socket and back-up support.
(2) Install the gear shift lever into the steering column assembly. Align the pin holes in the gear shift lever and the steering column assembly.
CAUTION: The pin must be installed in the original direction.
(3) Carefully Install the pin into the steering column assembly and through the shift lever. If the pin binds check the alignment on the holes. Be sure pin is fully installed into the steering column assembly.
(4) Connect over drive switch wiring.
