Thanks - Kent - Jak na to + styl
Just did this job; start-to-finish and cleanup, about 30 minutes. These instructions are perfect. My bushings looked almost identical to yours, especially the discoloration on the bottom one. Made a HUGE difference in how smooth it shifts now. Thank you so much!
Glad to be of some help - Kent
I inspected my 93 Toyota pickup and this is something that needs to be done! Thanks for the video!
My 1991 22R-E Truck Bushings went out in 1998 c. 86,000-mi. Dealership repair $100. Only lasted 23 years! Ha ha. Went out again today at 131,800-mi. Deteriorate from 1/ Time and 2/ Wear. Just like tires. Thanks for a GREAT video! This time around will save my $100 by DIY'ing it. Thanks Mate!
I discovered that bushing before the world ever knew what CZcams was. If you can pick up on the shifter and it works, then the bushing under it is wore out. Great video. I just wish it was around back then. Would have saved me some headaches. But I fixed mine back then same as you did. $12 later and I was back baby! Great feeling to have it work like it's supposed to. Thanks for the video.
This like if the Hoovies garage guy knew how to work on cars! Great video and awesome impression
Thanks very much. Your tip about use pliers to depress and twist the metal cap that locks the shift lever in place was a lifesaver!
RockOn! Glad to be of some help
Thank you so much for this video! I did the job yesterday, at 200k my seal was disintegrated, it was almost impossible to shift. What a difference! The most difficult part was to put metal plate back- I have 4x4, so it's two levers. It is smooth like a butter now! Now off to replace clutch cylinders
Fantastic!
I did this for my 1990 Toyota 4Runner 4 by, it has never been done and the seal that was supposed to be there was and probably in a transmission couldn't believe it. Now it shifts alot better and is not as wobbly as it was before. thanks
Thanks for the detailed video! I'll be tackling this on my dad's '99 Tacoma after I noticed how sloppy the shifter is.
This literally just started happening to me! Glad I found this video. Ordered the bushings on ebay for $23.00 shipped. One seller was selling both parts together! Appreciate it!
I think the bushing holds up pretty well... until it doesn't . Then the truck basically doesn't want to drive.
Just wanted to say thanks! I had a lot of consideration to having my transmission rebuilt. I ordered the kit and replaced the bushings, and now I can FIND 5th gear and reverse on my 98' tacoma 2 wheel drive 2.7, 4 banger. The 1st through 5th geer is tight spaced like new, "(still going places)" with my antique truck with more than 465 thousand Original miles, never rebuilt. Still cold air too! Love these Toyotas! Thanks so much for sharing this video!
YOu're wwlcome. Glad to be of some help - Kent
I have a Tacoma 5 speed in my 65 Austin Healey 3000 and it became difficult to shift. Not only was the bushing toast, the conical spring was broken. FIXED !!!! Thanks for posting this video
RockOn!
Now I got an idea to try remedied my hard shifting Revo... thanks a lot.
WOW
Thank you so much for posting, great tutorial! Can’t wait to try this out as it seems pretty feasible
Try it. It’s been over two years and my truck is still working FINE 😄
my dad just did this to his truck. something like 30 thousand miles but it's almost 18 years old. X) thanks for your video.
My '00 taco pops out of third gear, I will definitely be investigating the shifter bushing. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video! Took a little longer than 20 minutes but this did the trick!
Thank you for this! Found my culprit right away after this!
Great vid.My '94 110k started jumping outta gear yesterday in 3rd &5th gear.Thanks for pt#s.My local dealer had no listing for seal in trans tower.Apparently 2 and 4 wheel dr shifter seals are same.
Kent, thanks for the fix. It worked on my 2000 Tacoma. Part numbers and all. Thanks again.
✨ 🕺 ✨
Hey thanks for video changed mine in 15 minutes great video saved me a lot of money
Im having the exact problem and ur video popped up. Im gonna give this a try! Thank you for the video!
AAHHHH!!!! This is EXACTLY what i needed to know. Thank you so very much for making and sharing this video! I'll be doing this when I get back into town. You rock!
RockOn!
I started this job today on my 96 Tacoma with 270,000 miles that I bought new in 96. Bushing replaced once before around 2005 by a mechanic, tried it myself today and blocked getting that twist cap off. The channel lock handles are genius, try it tomorrow and report back
tks for the video...really helpful...my truck has similar issues too. now i know what to do. Cheers
I love the chrome on yours. Mine is a base model. Front trim was all black when new. Mostly rust now lol.
Your steps are very clear to understand I'd like to apply the same steps to my toyota hiace hard shifting problem. Great video.. 👍
Thanks - I was so happy to be able to drive my truck again
Awesome video 📹. I'm having a similar issue with my 2015 scion tc it tends to not to engage in to first gear or reverse . So I may need to change those bushings like you did on your truck.
Thank you. I was getting quoted total rebuilds. It turns out that this is one of the few weaknesses of these T100's, well, every decade and 50,000 miles now that they are older. I have the same model year as you. Now I just need to adjust the valves. That's suppose to be part of a regular tune up, but I've never met a mechanic that would do it.
RockOn John. If you can take care of business yourself, do it! And save some bucks and unnecessary work that doesn’t need to be done
Thanks for the video. My truck is doing something similiar and I'm heading to the shop to check that out right now.
So far it's just hard to get into first and will pop out sometimes but I have noticed that it's been getting harder to
shift in general. I was chalking it up to having over 220,000 miles on a 31 year old truck.
Toyotas are amazing. Replace that bushing and RockOn!
Thanks man-have to do mine now-looks easy-love old toyotas
very generous information, thank you
nice! Thank you for making this...
Thanks for letting me know I will fix my car exactly what you had
I’m at 185k with my ‘97 Tacoma (2.7 4wd), and as the original owner I KNOW the tranny has been well taken care of. I just started missing shifts into 3rd and 5th this week, so here I am. Thank you for the video. I’m ordering bushings tonight.
Rock0n! I’m keeping my fingers crossed that you will be in like Flynn and shifting like a champ before you know it 🤞
Thanks for the video i like the channel lock trick . VERY helpful 👍
Yes. It is useful. Thank you so much.
Good vids and tips! Thanks! ✌
Thanks so much I thought I might need a new trans. Toyota had the parts in stock, that was $35 including taxes. Took 1 hour and worked perfect. The old black ring came out in pieces.
Thanks again!!!
Hurray! So glad you're up and running again. RockOn!
nice work !!
Thanks Kent, the chanel locks and counterclockwise are key to popping it out, 190k mi and was just small grit left!
Amazing i still had 1 and 2nd, wouldnt stay in 3 4 5. Popped out in one day, not gradually. 40 bucks for the two parts in my area. I sliced 3 corners of the carpet to ease getting things in and out.
yeah, the carpet was more of a pain in the butt than anything else. 😁
Well vou did a great , useful video here. Many would blame the transmission gear bearings. Which of course can be the case. But not in this one. Thanks
Good job Kent gotta love the easy jobs.
👍 phew 😅
Sounds like a couple of people had the same problem I ended up having. Couldn't get the retainer to depress. Then it dawned on me that perhaps the bushing was so far gone that it wasn't holding up the retainer. That ended up being the case. All I needed to do was to turn as the retainer was already down.
Thx man very helpful
Excellent video, I’m almost 99% sure I have the exact same problem. Thank you
I bet you're right. Good luck - Kent
thank you it helps me very well
Thx man help a lot.
Thank You Sir
Had the exact same problem with my Landcruiser 100 series
hey mate did it work ? cause ive got a prado and 1st gear is popping out and i was thought i had to get a whole new gearbox
Very useful information. Thank you, it's much appreciated.
I hope it WORKS for you😃
Thanks for posting!!
Tis the season to do Toyota repairs. You got this!
Thank you so much for this video. I have the same exact model truck and I have 1st but won't go into second so I have to go straight into 3rd. And sometimes it pops out of first. My mechanic told me I needed a new transmission. I am going to try this!
Try it = )
Did this work for you ? Thanks Jason.
Great video fixed my 88 Hilux get reverse now
RockOn! Glad to be of some help
Best video thanks
Thank you.
Thank you very much
Thanks bro help so much
Awesome.have the same problem will try this.
do it! I bet it's the same thing
that was very helpfull , i've got the same problem ,, thanks man
RockOn! you can do it . I admit it took longer than 20 min. ;-)
Good job. You saved yourself big.
Thanks
THANK YOU
Thanks 1991 Toyota, apparently this is a Common prob with a lot of model yrs. min started with intermittent 5 th gear and reverse then finally could not reverse . When I did the shifter went all the way right! Felt like it was broken. Went to dealer and got it . Stock items. Went home put it on less than 1hr. And wallla! Fixed both shift problems . Unreal. Also I prev had a bracket welds broken on pedal shifter and that’s a mission to fix . See other people videos. But try this fix first too.
Good Vid Thanks a lot
What size are the 4 screws that hold the mounting together? Mine were missing and I cannot figure out what size they are. Thanks
marlin crawlers sells a replacement for the parts. You need to know which transmission you have but that is on the door tag. They have a good reputation and claim a better than factory part.
Can this be done if I only have the black bushing replacement?
I have hard time starting the engine.
It starts in the morning, but after engine warms up, stepping on the clutch pedal deep and turn the key on nothing moves.
I understand that there's a engine switch at the bottom of the clutch pedal.
Unless it's depressed by the pedal(to all the way), it won't start.
It's been hard since I bought it(2000 Tacoma) but lately it's becoming even harder.
What can be the cause?
I will adjust the pedal switch(found it online) and see if it works but if it doesn't, I'll be in big trouble.
Good job bro 👍🏻
RockOn!
I have the same '94 Toy PU, only red. I've had no issues shifting, but when it was up on the rack the other day, it appeared to be gushing gear oil out of the shifter connection. I'm gonna guess my bushing is destroyed or missing as well! Thanks for putting this up, I could not see how to remove the shifter boot, seems the carpet is glued to the floor! I will try again once I get the correct parts. Just turned over 266,000 miles this week! runs great but in need of some TLC, I'd love that new truck ride, but the insurance and registration (in CA) fees are prohibitive! Leaking at the valve cover gasket as well, but these are minor and easy fixes. My steering gearbox is failing though also, and I'm not sure if I can do that job.
Wow! That is a lot of miles. Testament to how great Toyota is. Amazing!
Excelente
So two days ago, my little civic got stuck in 3rd gear but not the gear lever itself. The lever became loose and you can literally do a circle with it.
The entire time, though, it was stuck in 3rd gear. I had no neutral or reverse.
Took it to the shop, it’s still in there. They’re still « looking ».
Could it possibly be this??
Thanks for the video......I was grinding gears 3/4........I took my Tacoma to a transmission shop.........they claimed the Syncro gears were shot - $1200 fix........researching syncro gear replacement I stumbled upon this video.......$30 in parts.....2 bushings.........fixed........Thanks........
Too many times mechanics are mere parts replacement techs opening up transmissions replacing good syncro gears and stumbling upon the bad, easy to get to, affordable bushings (that are the actual problem). The best thing about the internet is the CZcams.
Those shops are highway robbery and it should be ILLEGAL
Five years ago, I bought my base 2wd '96 Tacoma, for $400. It only had 71K on the clock, but would not go into first or third gear. According to the seller, the repair estimate he got was $2400! Based on my experience, and what I read then, and now, online, the first thing to do is definitely check/replace the shifter saddle and bushing.
In my case, there were complications. Apparently, plastic chunks from the saddle had jammed the internal shift-linkage. But I was able to force it into both gears. After driving it for several weeks, the resistance gradually disappeared. I suspect this ground up the chunks into tiny pieces, which then fell harmlessly to the bottom of the gearbox. Now there IS a shifter-cover on the gearbox that I could have (maybe should have) unbolted to check the linkage. But I feared that small metal parts might fall inside, and then I'd have to pull the whole gearbox out.
Ironically, three years later, I did have to pull the gearbox to R&R the clutch after it started slipping. I figure the previous owner starting out in second gear probably helped kill it. The parts only cost $130. But there's no removable cross-member under my 2WD Tacoma's gearbox. Working on ramps in my driveway, the clutch job took nearly a week! But at least the fluid got changed, along with all that ground up plastic!
Hardest part is pushing and turning springer collar.I used two lg screw drivers ,pried collar down and turned simple .
Is any body know if this is the same or similar to the 1980 with 20 R.
Hmm interesting I poped open my shifter to see, and apparently the bushing is different, I have a 4 speed 22r 1986
thanks, i just bought the parts and will get the grease and make sure I label . and see how it goes. Probably will take me more than 20 minutes. LOL
Yes, saying that it would take 20 minutes was a bit optimistic. Nonetheless, it’s a pretty straightforward repair
With very few exceptions, this process is the same for all variants of the first gen Tacomas. The rubber seat is always a decomposed mess in every one I’ve seen. My local dealer charges $26 for the seat and bushing.
Ahh, good to know. Thanks!
My dealer charged $77 and the factory bushings from 1996 were actually not the issue.
Do you know the part numbers for the bushings I need to do the same to my Tacoma?
Nice shoes and socks dude, lol!
😁
Instead of a pair of channel locks. A 19mm wrench works perfectly.
19mm wrench works better than a channel-locks. Fantastic! Good to get that in the comments to make the job easier for folks. - Kent
hey Boss
Any advice will be highly apretiated
Ford Transit 2004
It began with gear 2 taking 2 times to change sometimes. Now i get situations when at traffic light and can not change any gear some times and then after a minute or so after restarting engine and pressing gears and clutch it all works again.
i happen few times a day on some days.
Inside van nothing leaking arround pedals.
Hmmm.... Ford Transit is a different beast than Toyota Pickup. Sounds like there is a lot of miles on the Transit? Maybe the syncros going out.
@@KentSchneeveis ty
Is it about the same process for a 1990 Toyota pickup? Counter clockwise to remove shift knob
I'm sure it must be
Good job just so you know there would’ve been a lot of that’s what she said moments if I was in your garage
I had to add 80 minutes to your 20. Had a hell of a time lining up the screws under the rug through the 2 rubber boots and the metal frame into the transmission tunnel. PIA when you can’t see where the holes are.
Truth be told... it took me longer than 20 minutes ;-)
Got a '07 Toy. Matrix. While in 4th for a minute, stick snapped back to Neutral. Did that a few times that day on highway. Then l tried duplicating that again in 4th with 200 xtra lbs of weight another day..nothing happened. Don't want to force it on high rpm in fourth. Not sure what's up.
Just spent 1,300 on wife's other Toy. for tires and frnt. links.
Any ideas?
$1,300 OUCH! It relatively easy to check the bushings at the shift lever. Check that first
R151F 4X4 V6/Turbo trans seem not to suffer from seat sub assy/ bushing wear. I have noticed 2wd trucks suffering the most.
Agreed
I’m having the similar problems with 3rd and 5th gear and my coworkers were saying that it is the transmission which made me panic a bit because I don’t have that cash right now to do a rebuild, but I’m going to give this a shot and really hope this helps out
Mellisa - this is so cheap and easy to do - go for it!
@@KentSchneeveis any suggestions on how to get the shift stick out? I’m trying to rotate counter clockwise but it’s really stuck in there
Clean it really well. So that it’s not dusty, or slippery. I used the handle side of a pair of channel locks. There was rubber on the handle push down really hard and turn counterclockwise. It will pop up and come out. It’s not easy to do. But You will get it.
@@KentSchneeveis would you recommend using WD-40
That's a good idea. A penetrating rust buster stuff may be even better. Give the WD a shot.
Nice
Sweet
my 1999 model 1800 mazda gear lever hard to engage in second gear after knocked from behind in a road accident
🇺🇸 👍 I am a real ASE certified master auto technician with over 55 years with real Hands-on training of real experience I really could not have did not Any better than with you did really Replace those 2 transmission Bush's you did a real excellent job 👍
Mr. Garland - A fellow hands-on experienced can-do brother . Thanks for the kind comments. I grew up in a machine shop. I'm also have certification - Honda factory certified motorcycle mechanic. So I have a 45 years of hands on experience too. Woo-hoo! Thanks again for the nice comment Sir.
My shifter was very sloppy...Replaced both bushings and its still sloppy...So what the heck is wrong??
I have problem only with second gear. I cant eject from second gear at low car speed. When the car speed is high there is no problem. It is manual gearbox. What can be the problem?
Not sure what the problem is... hmmm....
that metal slotted cuff at the base of the gear shifter, I can't get mine to move. are there any tricks? I tried channel lock handle, just like you show, but it won't budge. it just won't move down far enough no even with the maximum force I can muster.
Penalty! Spray some penatrant , rust release, in there. Tap on it with a small hammer and a drift to loosen it up. You'll get it!
@@KentSchneeveis thanks man, I appreciate it.
0OohH My gawd! I have the same problem. lol
GREAT! You got an easy fix = )
changed this last night, slightly tighter but still not a major improvement , still difficult to get into gear, mostly 3rd n 4th gear
Check your conical spring.
Thank you
You're welcome
Any tips for depressing and turning a stuck retaining clip? I’m stuck at that step.
My 98 4runner won’t turn at all and it depresses slightly.
Try adding some sort of penetrating oil, not just WD40. Tap on it with something, oil it again. Keep trying, you'll get it!
@@guitarfixx4652 thanks I'll give that a shot.
Guitar Fixx no luck. Perhaps the bushing fell apart and is keeping the cap from depressing fully. What a bummer
Hmmm.... if the bushing fell apart I don't think it would make any difference . Ask a buddy to give it a shot. You'll get it!
What symptoms did you have?
My pickup won’t go into gear at all while running but it goes into gear while off.
Similar symptoms as i remember
I have a 1993 Toyota 4x4 3.0 liter truck and the shop told me that I need to replace the slave cylinder and the clutch for 1900.00 dollars. So I went and bought a brand new truck for 37,000 dollars. I still have the Toyota and want to fix it and I'll try this. If this is the problem im gonna shit self because now I have a nice truck payment and I could have fixed it by doing this. But I also have to install new leaf springs and front suspension so it's still needs some work but im kerping this neat truck. It has 228,000 miles and drives like a dreamwhen running. I still turn it on and warm it up every week and put it in gear and dtive it up and down alley to keep it good.
You're doing the right thing by getting a new truck while you can still sell the old one. Hope this shift bushing fix does the trick! = )
Update?
Did gears slowly get harder to change over time until you could barely change at all?
It slowly was getting bad, then it got so bad I could barely shift.
Hows you're car sir is work after a repair stick gear?
Thanks for asking. It's been many months and it's working VERY WELL. Like new!
Can we put gear oil before fixing transmission stick?
sure, I can't imagine why not ;-)
@@KentSchneeveis thanks
