Help to identify part... 97 5-spd shifter linkage plastic cup/ bushing

All of sudden I lost 1st, 2nd, 5th and reverse gears last night when got in the car at work... managed to roll the car back and drove home only with 3rd and 4th gears.

I found that the bottom end of the linkage arm was popped out, so no side-to-side move on the shift knob transmits to the shift rod into the transmission.

Cup (circled in the pic) is getting old and not holding the ball pivot arm tight... I may be missing some clip, but for now I used steel wire to keep the arm joint together.

I am searching for a replacement part with no luck. Looking for any lead with Porsche (or Audi?) P/N for this plastic cup/ bushing and maybe a metal clip that I may be missing. I read somewhere that the early 97 5-spd transmission uses an unique linkage arm, which is likely mine... so parts may not be easy to find

Or is there any known repair methods?

Thanks!
