The overdrive button on the shift lever of my 2007 Explorer fell off. Any idea where to get a new one?

I've searched high and low, and no luck.

Thanks

Don 't buy a new one, go to a salvage yard. I was just at a salvage yard today and could have grabbed you one for cheap. The crazy thing is, I JUST replaced my shift handle today, but the replacement O/D button that came with it was cut, so no electrical connector and I threw it away. It was really hard to push also for some reason, so I think it was screwed up. If you don't have any luck in the next week or so, let me know and I'll grab you when next time I'm at the yard.

But, if you do want to buy one, do this:

I started work on replacing the OD switch on my 07 sporttrac. When I got to loosening the setscrew on my shift lever, it was very tight, and when I put enough torque on it to turn it, the whole insert the setscrew is in turned, so now I am 'screwed'. (Setscrew threads into a brass insert that is molded into the plastic part.)
can I get that plastic part, or do I need the whole shift knob assembly?
