Shifter Bushing MIA!
Hey All-
I was having some trouble shifting into 1st and 2nd especially when cold. I did some searches and found the fix, the shifter seat bushings. Once i got it apart, i found that there was no bushing left! I only found some bits of it in there. Cleaned 'er out, and installed the new ones. The shifting is real nice now with the new bushings in there...BTW I got the new parts from Conicelli Toyota via the internet, and the parts were at my door the next day after I ordered.

its actually pretty easy! once the boot is off, you have to push down and turn this collar like thing to remove the shifter. it took me a minute to figure out which way the bushing went, 'cuz mine was gone!

Hmmm let me see, the first set lasted about 50K miles. The dealer wanted to charge me to fix it. $180.00 I was like what about my drivetrain warranty that lasts untill 60K? Well, they ended up putting the $13.00 worth of parts in there and sent me on my way. Then the next set went bad at about 90K miles. I fixed it myself for $8.00. The rubber seat is really all that wears out. The plastic bushing on the end of the shifter was fine. Then at 137K I replaced the clutch so I when I pulled the shifter I noticed that the shifter seat was cracked and in pieces. After finding the one on the Marlin Crawler site I'll probably use it next time. The factory piece is junk.
Another piece of junk from the factory is the 6" section of brake like that is between the clutch slave and master cylinder on the passenger firewall. That damn thing is leaking again.
later.
