i realize this is my first post, so my name is ryan and i have a 92 4runner that i picked up last night, it has 287xxxkm's and loaded, black on grey, its perfect in every way except the shifter, its an auto and the entire shifter bezel is off and needs to be replaced, but the shifter is extremely wobbly right now, is it wobbly when the shifter bezel comes off? or is the linkage for the shifter loose? the tranny shifts fine and it engages in all gears so im thinking something in the linkage is loose, anybody have any ideas? thanks

the shifter bezel has nothing to do with it being lose, there are about 5 bolts that hold it down to the chassis and then it has what looks like the shift point that might be cracked welds or bad bushings,

i cant find any parts sites that sell any of the linkage parts for the shifter, does anybody know a site?

there are rubber bushings that dry rot over the years leaving the shifter linkage loose. toyotapartseast.com or toyotapartszone.com has all the parts break down images. here is the breakdown for my 89 4runner shifter.

is 33501g the only bushing that can cause the shifter to be loose like that? 33723 looks like a bushing aswell is that correct? awesome picture btw come in handy when you know how to read them
