The plastic insert is not listed separately, only the screw.
The insert itself is prone to cracking if the securing screw is overtightened and is a common issue. The only solution is to try and get just the insert from a breakers for a few pence or get the complete knob for a few ££££'s

just an update, i managed to get a near new genuine leather gear knob with the plastic insert intact for £22 including p+p! pretty chuffed as i saw the price of a new leather one and was quite shocked!!

Hi, first time poster here.. I have a 2002 HSE, living in Dubai. The plastic trigger or lever in my auto gear knob broke so I had to remove it. (Currently pushing down on the bar with my thumb to switch gears) Could I replace just the plastic trigger alone or do I just need a new one? There are a couple on ebay for £45 and £75 which is more than I want to pay. Any ideas? Where did you source yours in the end tommo? Cheers

If you live in Dudai getting one should not be a problem. Just find a Rangie an Arab shiek has abandoned when the ashtray got full, and take one out of that.

Cheers for the reply Tommo, currently checking with breakers yards here and keeping an eye on eBay - was quoted £100 for a new one from the suppliers locally so not going to do that.
