FM145 Replacement Shifter Assembly

[J_D43]

In need of a replacement shifter for my 85 ranger with the FM145 trans. Can't rebuild due to shifter breaking completely off at the teflon ball. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I checked Core transmissions but they're out of stock and have been for a while.

I looked at this and honestly wouldn't mind spending the money that fixes what ford messed up with the FM145 shifter design but its out of stock unfortunately. I still appreciate you taking the time to respond!
