eBay has many for sale.

Not for a tip.

Have you tried US dealers? Probably spendy-er, but a different distribution system, too. From what I can see, it's NLA, anywhere. But it was on a variety of model years and models, so it's probably readily available in wrecking yards. Might be sitting on a shelf somewhere, ordered, but never used. If the plastic thingy on the end of the rod is broke, you may be able to replace just that, wonder if the plastic top linkage would fit?

I'll leave it there.

have you tried Woody? (itsnotanova)

Porsche Canada says not available until first quater of 2020. US dealer listed as NA.

Try Car-Part.com - Used Auto Parts Market

They are a nationwide salvage yard parts aggregator.

May not be the exact part all by itself, but for $80 you can buy the whole assembly, cables and all - from the top of the shift knob to the transmission. Or the Sunset website says it will ship 98642604301 to you in 7 - 10 days for $45+ shipping.

For $45 + shipping buy new and be done with it.

No response from him.I have bought from him before

Sorry I don't have a transmission to pull one off of. The ball joint looks a lot like the same piece used for the convertible top control arms to me. Those plastic ball joints can be found new for cheap

Thanks Woody. Found one new in California.

Part was back ordered. Back to square one. Woody doesnt have one. Now doing a recyclers request.

Look through facebook market. Lots being parted out all over.

Got one used .Shout out to DC Auto Rock Mount NC.

Thanks for the help.

FYI.Porsche does not have firm date on when this part will be available.First quarter of 20 ?
