- If you removed your shifter from your transmission or transfercase and are having trouble with the installation process then I hope this helps. If you need to remove them the this will probably explain well enough for you to do this process in reverse. If you have any questions for me The Practical Mechanic then go ahead and post in the comments below or send them to chad@thepracticalmechanic.com.
Legend. This instruction is so good that I could understand the directions without the audio on. Top job.
After half a day of struglling, i just find your video, thank mate, made my day !!!!!
No problem 👍 cheers
You just end a big headheck by providing those instructions. I was lost and (almost) desperate. Thanks sir.
You are most welcome
Top notch video. No other videos provide the details like yours. I’m going to do this soon but also have to replace the gasket for each housing.
Great Instruction ! &
Instructor !
Thank You Friend !

Thanks! Just the info I needed....97 3rz T4R
Thx , I took off the whole case and while reinstalling spring fell now with your video I know the right position and way to put it back.
Buddy thanks for posting this I've been having trouble with the transfer shifter and the last person in there put it on the wrong side of the spring. You saved me buying a shop manual
I was searching this for long time. This helped me a lot❤️. I met one gearbox 4wd is not working and found there is no such spring at all, lever just fits to that two jaws. I want to see that spring clearly and how it fits
Dude Thankyou, was so confused how the transfer case shifter went back in with the spring.
Glad I could help.
Excellent vid.... what a kind hearted / nice guy to want to help people... That transfer case can be real tricky... super explanation....
I never comment on anyone's stuff but this saved me brotha thank you so much appreciated 🙏
No problem 👍
Just what i needed. Thanks!
love this vid,
you explained and show exactly how it is and should be,
this is the type of video is truely realy helpful,
thank you bro 😎
Glad it was helpful!
Marlin Crawler sells these shifter bushings and theyre made from Delrin instead of the brittle plastic like OEM, highly recommend looking into them if your shifter is sloppy as,
Great video saved me a lot of money
Great video cheers for sharing your knowledge 👍
Thanks mate, that got me out of trouble
Cheers 🍻
I used the marlin crawler bushings which worked fine
Hi , your video was AWSOME!! I had a local mechanic perform a clutch job on my 01 Tacoma. It leaked real bad after getting it back and found it leaking under the gasket for the 4x4 transfer case cover. I repaired the metal and paper gaskets that appeared to have a slice diagonally across it for some odd reason. It was an accident but didn't have the luxury of time to bring it back, So , I'm working on it at 10pm last night in my garage and used RTV to make the seal. It worked ! My question was this; I tryied to get that spring back into place and for the life of me and partly due to a couple of beers I decided to put the spring to the side. Here is the weird part, the 4x4 shifts perfectly well without the spring. What is it that I'm missing? Thanks again for this great piece of youtube work!
I think the spring is only there to keep tension on the shifter so it stays in the high range position. When you press forward on the shifter you will go from 4high to 2high. Without the spring a driver not paying attention could accidentally try to shift into low range while traveling at speed.
AWESOME!!! THANK YOU so MUCH!!!
My shifter retainer won’t depress all the way to remove it. It goes halfway then doesn’t want to turn. Any advice?
Your the man thanks help alot
Thank you so much for making this video. It helped me a lot.
A question: does the transfer shifter use the same kind of bushings as the transmission shifter? I need to change the transmission of a LN65L but I am afraid of damaging the transfer shifter
Is the Bushing for the Shifter the same part as the Transfer case???
Both mine are SHITE and many thanks 4 this vid!!!
Good video ty
That twist lock is insane to reinstall on mine im giving it my all and she aint turning to lock any ideas?
Thank you!
that green stuff was mega dry rotted when i took it apart.
Is the process for getting the transfer case shifter back in easier if you move it to 4hi?
Very helpful video. Thank you. Do both the transfer case shifter lever need a bushing? Part number? Toyota is telling me that it doesn't require a bushing.
I thought there was a bushing in both the transfercase and the transmission. At least there is normally rubber bits in the seat of the transfercase shift tower. If I find the part number for the transfercase shifter I will let you know.
@@ThePracticalMechanic I was able to find aftermarket bushing (lever seat) through yotamasters for both transmission and transfer case. If I can't find a part number, I will consider getting those aftermarkets. Thank you again for responding and putting up valuable info. I appreciate videos of this nature. Learning has occurred.
Daniel Amador no problem. I will look it up on yotamsters as well and include a link to them. Thanks for the heads up.
@@damador2424 I looked on Yotamasters and they only carry the HD shift seat for the toyota pick but not for the r150f. i see they have a suzuki samurai transfercase seal. have you tried that seal yet? does it fit? toyota don't sell the transfer case seal.
@@JoeOster I was able to find the part and replaced it. Unfortunately, I still have the same issue. Truck slips out of first, so I thought my clutch and this bushing were the culprits. Replaced clutch, still have an issue. Looking into transmission now. I dropped it last weekend. Now I just need to rebuild or get someone to rebuild.
What happen if you break the spring inside the transfer.
Super late to the video but does this apply to the 2WD Toyota T100 5 Speed
I haven’t had one of those apart but I’ve put bushing into 2x4 pickups.
Man stupid question what do you do if you drop the pivot shifter cup into the transmission?
There’s no easy way to retrieve it. Even pulling the shifter plate off may not give you access to it. They come in to the shop all the time broken or missing so I can only assume that they have fallen into the transmission. The transmission years will probably just chew it up if you get stuck in a gear and you’ll probably never even notice. You can always drive it for a while and then drain the transmission fluid and see if pieces of it come out. If the fluid is new fluid then you can always stream it with the screen or a coffee filter and then reuse it. Hope that helps.
@@ThePracticalMechanic thank you sir. You answered every question I had right there.
Hi where you got the kit
Have same setup pulled out to put seal when I reinstall transmission ot wont change gears it a 5 speed any help would b greatly appreciated
The shifter won’t move or is just flopping around or feels normal but the car won’t move? It’s possible that the transfer case shifter is installed wrong and the transfer case is in neutral or the transmission shifter isn’t installed properly and the shift rail is stuck in one position.
Does a 3.0L transmission fits on a 3.4L motor? Will be so helpful to find it ou
Yes and no. The bolt pattern is the same but the transfer case output is on the opposite side. The clutch slave cylinder is also on the opposite side. I have a 1990 4Runner that I replaced the 3.0 with a 3.4. That swap requires custom exhaust and wiring.
@@ThePracticalMechanic thank you!!
My 4x4 shift won’t budge, any idea what would cause this? Thanks
Is it stuck in 2hi, 4hi or 4lo? Has the shifter been removed? How long has it been acting up?
I have only seen a stuck shifter a few times and there was rust inside the transfer case on two of them and a damaged shift rod on the other one.
If I was checking it out I would pull the shifter to see if I could manually get the shift rods to move. The rod on the right is for 2hi-4hi operation and the rod on the left is hi-lo operation. There is a small part that only allows the left to operate if the rod on the right is in the forward position same goes for the rod on the right, it only moves if the left rod is in the forward position.
I bought the truck years ago. Drove it for a year, it’s in 2 hi. Blown head gasket so I let it sit for a few years now. It never would shift into 4x4. Now I’m looking at dropping a new motor in it but wanted to figure out the 4x4 problem. When I bought the truck it had just had a clutch put in and the mechanic said he forgot to re connect the 4x4 linkage? Not sure if that’s even correct. I will try removing the shifter and see what it looks like. Thank you for the quick reply and help!
I pulled the shifter off and I can engage 4x4 with a screw driver. I guess maybe the shifter wasn’t installed properly. This video should get it done. Thanks so much for the help brother it’s much appreciated!
Does anyone know how to install the 4wd gear in a mitsubishi l200
I need help i cant find that lock for a 87 toyota pick up any site that u use that carries it i wld really appreciate ur help please n thank u
The bushing or the retainer. The retainer should be built into the shifter for the transmission and the snap ring for the transfer case is probably only available used or from the dealer. Not all dealer still lookup parts for the older trucks because they have to reference a microfiche unless they know the part number.
Dude I couldn’t figure out how to remove the 4x4 shifter
Did you figure it out?
Is the greenish colored shift bushing the same for the transmission and transfer case? can't seem to locate one for the transfer case, I had ordered part # 33548-30010 but that is not the right part. Vehicle is a 98 Tacoma with the 3.4
