The shift plate?I have never heard that part before lets start with what is wrong with your car and we will go from there. You probably just have a broken shifter cable end that attaches to the base of your shifter assembly which is under center console. They make a repair for the cable so you dont have to replace the cables. They sell a nice repair kit on ebay I tried the dorman one and it doesnt hold. Let me know and I will get you all the info you need.
