Default Shift Boot plastic retention ring

I have a 99 t/a 6 speed, and the shift boots plastic retention clip has broke and I do not have all of the pieces to try and fix it with epoxy. Does anyone have any quick fix remedies or know where I can get one? Thanks ahead of time!

i bought a metal ring from someone on the board, i forget his name ill try to find it for you. it is one of the best things i ever bought, no more worries about braking it when you put it on or take it off.

found it, pm farmer2 he makes them.
