- In this video, I walk you through the simple steps to fixing a wobbly shifter on a 3rd generation Toyota 4Runner with an automatic transmission.
The bushings can be found at your local dealership: part #90385-11003, or here on Amazon: www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=... 133884 Automatic Transmission Tbar Shifter Shift Arm Bushing Set&index=aps&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=86f3075aedda7bb81c884ec7cd36bc1a

Oh, fun. Two 10 cent bushings and 4 hours later ... fixed. Well done.
This job should take less than an hour!! I just tend to go into unnecessary detail in my videos and make it look longer than it really is 🙂🤔
@@FayeHadley Actually, I was referring to me taking 4 hours to do it. I should have be more clear in my statement. A trained professional as yourself could easily do it in an hour.
@@FayeHadley No Faye, most of us would end up taking half a day doing this and then realize when we got done we forgot to put something back together, and have to take it apart again. You're just more proficient so your time is more valuable...good video young Lady.
Thats the difference between a mechanic versus a weekend warrior mechanic
It always amazes me how long some people will let these minor fixes go, until it's so bad that you think it's going to fail completely. Way to go Faye for the fix.
For 6 bucks this has to be the best fix I’ve done yet. I’ve been living with the shake for a couple years and was so tired of it. Thank you Faye!
It's annoying.
Thanks teacher my 25 year 4runner need my diy intervention.
A big hug from Puerto Rico.
$1.75 for parts.
$300 for labor if you take it to a professional.
This is one of those weekend jobs where you get your friends together to help out
Great information to know
Just make sure you drink beer after the repair and not before.... many people mix that up.
@@Mycroftsbrother oh I've been doing it backwards.
I don’t have a 4Runner but somehow I watched the whole video. Even the end with the fluffy chickens. Great detail on your videos.
Thank you!!!
Fantastic video Faye! Just fixed the sloppy shifter on my 1997 4Runner using your tips! BTW I met you in person when we gave you the tour of Toyota Headquarters in Plano, TX a few years ago! So proud of what you’re doing to uphold service excellence!
After watching this video and watching all these steps being done there's a much easier fix. All you have to do is stick a dime on the right-hand side of the base of the shifter shaft it fits in perfectly it will not fall inside and it is very tight like new. This gal is very talented and yes she did do it for cheap. However I did it much faster and cheaper it only cost me a dime.
Fantastic!! That's the goal! Easy cheap repairs that work!
Awesome video Faye! Sometimes it’s the little things that ya never really appreciate until you’ve fixed them properly. Every time you shift from now on, you’ll remember and appreciate that repair :) We appreciate your work and the video!
You and me both have 3rd gen 4runners for a daily and mk3 supra's for the fun cars. That's awesome! Happy wrenching!
And you got sequoia/tundra wheels on your 4runner too! haha Great minds think alike!
WHAAAAAAT!?! NO WAY
First that popped into my was the center link bushings . Good job great video. Always enjoy watching you and the videos
Happy New year’s Faye! Love your videos and happy to see the chickens made it this time 😃🐔🐔
Well I got a 2002 4 runner with a not so tight shift selector , now I thought I could correct the problem without having to disassemble the whole dang shifter , “ surprise “ ! And then gal you went and put the vehicle on the lift , and I was like aww hell no ! Ya I know the bushings were really cheap, but I may have to live with the sloppy shifter till I can magiver , some type of clip in bushings to be put in from on top , this was a very informative video that showed me what I’m up against on doing this project thanks Faye for making it, 👍✌️
Thank you Faye! I just got a ‘96 4Runner in really rough condition, but a killer deal. I’ve never worked on cars before aside from changing a tire, but taking this on by myself thanks to videos like yours!
Thank you Faye for this video, my 88 MR2 is doing the exact same thing, and now you showed me the fix!
Thanks Faye, you rock! You helped me fix like two of the three repairs my 4Runner ever needed. Now that I'm looking at it, I'm not sure you need to take the knob all the way apart if you can just take the whole thing out as one unit.
These are the best kind of jobs when you can finally get to them. Nagging little things that when you finish, you can appreciate it every time you drive it 😁👍🏻
Even though I was searching for ways to fix my manual shifter just wanted to say I really enjoyed watching your video because your attitude and enthusiasm was so awesome. Thanks for sharing ✌️
You sound so exited, it's contagious. If you're still wondering..it was meant as compliment.
Good to see the old 4runner shifter body is still metal! And; you are such a cool and nice lady!
Great video, Faye. Worn shifter linkage is a problem with lot of cars, so it's cool that you're showing how to fix it. After you said "bye," I almost clicked the pause button but remembered...there's still more video left. Sure enough...the Silkies. Love those little guys. Happy New Year to you. Wishing you much prosperity and success in the new decade.
i am a master certified toyota tech myself , but i still love watching your videos ... love your laugh !! lol. great video , great job on doing those bushings ..i do them by just lifting the assy up .. and then just blowing everything clean with air hose .. ;)
Good fix! All my fav’s, mechanical, cheap parts, fixing a chronic little annoyance, learn as you go, admiring the engineering/design, easy electrical connector, and the most fav’s are Faye and chickens. Chicken says,”what’s yours, is mine”.
Your personality is infectious. Thanks for the help Faye
Thanks for your video...it was 100% useful, I just recently bought a 97 4Runner and being a Ford guy most of my life I was unsure what I was getting into but just by watching your video now I know it's a piece of cake.Again thank you.
Excellent video. Spot on with the diagnosis and repair Faye. I like your stuff; informative with the extra details. Keep it up!
Thanks Fahey for video, it helps a lot to understand to change bushings.
I think i might add this to my to do list since you've given me the courage to do this repair on my 2000 Tacoma pre-runner edition....Thanks Faye
Thanks, My shifter was wobbly and watching Faye fixed it. I told you before , you are awesome. LOL
Thank you so much Faye for this video. A 2 hour job took me only a half hour. Keep posting videos on your 4runner!
Killer!!! Thanks for letting me know!!😃👍🏻
.50 cent bushing fixed my f150! Thanks for sharing your knowledge !
Thank you so much this has been driving me nuts for a few years. Like I'm OCD nuts. Its really really been bothering the shit out of me.
Awesome!!!
You are awesome! New sub and keeper of a new (to me) 4runner. Thank you, the shifter wobble was starting to get to me.
Good tip about using a paint pen to mark the location on the linkage connector. 👍
Awesome video I love finding channels like this. CZcams makes it so hard to find channels sometimes. Good contents tho. I used to work on cars and trucks all the time. They drive me nuts anymore tho lol
It's cool to know there's a video for this. I have pretty much the exact same 4runner.
Dude! I just came across this video randomly and let me say 1 thing. You're the most detailed, inciteful and descriptive DIY youtuber EVER! Your videos are direct and straight to the point, beating 99% of all the males how-to videos. Get it homie, cheers :)
No better way to start the week!!! A little faye and chickens!! Thank you!
The stuff that drives us car people nuts! Little things that others don’t always notice!!! :-)
Great video, it is nice when the little things work. Have a great new year!
Yeah I was planning on watching this and save it to my how to playlist, but this is way more involved than I thought it would be!
Most enjoyable, thanks for explaining what you were doing while you work, that one act makes it a lot easier to understand, I’m analytical,
Just wanted to say thank you. I'm not that tech savvy but this helped so much.
It took about an hour and wow it made all of the difference!!!
Awww thank you!!
Big fan of your content, this video helped me with the '00 I'm working on!
Wow, you’re amazingly awesome! Love your educational automobile videos are perfect and fun to watch. I have a 3rd Gen 2002.
Great video and Ty so much for the help, also I found no need to take off the top of the shifter… this was an intimidating job for the amateur but thanks to this video it went super smooth
i had a 95 pathfinder and i Loved the Heck out of that thing, I took it through everything off roading and never got stuck in the 3 years I had it. I bet the 4runner is just as awesome.
and I, male of the species, put off a brake slave cylinder replacement because I thought too tough, I am now humbled by your excellent video. I'm going for it in new year, thanks for inspiration
Nice. My 4runner is gonna be new once again thanks to you!
Thanks Faye just finished this with your help. Feels so good.
HECK YES!!!!!!
Faye another very informative video. I had the same problem with my ford GT . thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. Definitely appreciate my car much more after the fix!
Thank for taking the time to post videos like these. I was a great help with my '99 4runner. It's shifting like it did when I first bought it 23 years ago! Not sure if you still have your 4runner, but I'm going to watch the rest of your videos! Cheers.
I absolutely still have my 4Runner and I just hit 314,000 miles on the odometer!!!😃😃😃 He's making a funny clunk in the front end so I'm sure that I'm going to have a new video for you soon!
Hi Trouble, thank you for highlighting my comment, one more thing, I like the fact you use proper language, I’ve been working with cars for 30 years last September, I don’t know it all, always learning, thank you for actually teaching people the right language, knowledge is power, fix it right, all hail Ford😜
Bad ass chick working on cars!!! Dig it!! Thanks for the info!! Im getting ready to do the same fix on my 96 4runner
This video was incredibly helpful. I was able to replace the bushings on my 1995 Toyota 4Runner and while I was in there replaced the bezel (PRNDL piece) with Toyota part 35921-35190 for 96-98 4runner. Got that part from Lakeland Toyota online took a couple weeks to get here. One thing to note is that the two pin connectors on the top left for illumination and the overdrive switch are very difficult to remove. And the shifter button that flies out when you remove it was not easy to align back into place with the spring with a red end piece on the shifter. It needs to be pressed in partially into the shifter when pushed back into position. It is also good to make sure that you get the shifter back in park P after installation.
Great video and thank you for using our light.
I saw the title and was like this should be easy it’s only a 7min long video....after watching you utilizing the lift and all the sh!t that had to be removed...I will still do but with help. Truly appreciate this video my Mint 96 4runner has this problem....Thank You ;)
It look so easy when do the work keep it going love your videos
Your voice helps me sleep at night.
Hi! I have a 4runner from 2002 (which I love haha) and I was looking for exactly this problem and how to solve it and I found your video. It is exactly what I needed! Soon I will buy the bushings and make the change. Thank you! And I think I'll be watching more videos from your channel from what I could see at a quick glance.
Thank you so much!!!
@@FayeHadley thank you ☺️
Thanks Faye! Love to watch you work and hear that laugh. Chickens!
I have a 98 with a wobbly shifter, now I know whats up! Thanks!
Well well well!!! I am super happy you made this video. I may or may not have a project with this same issue. And how about that pocket screwdriver!!!
HEYYYYYYYY!!! Fancy seeing you here ;) Ha ha! Glad I can finally be a help to YOU for once!!!
Like a bought one 😃 Happy new year!
Thanks a lot for posting the video. will try to do it by myself. thanks also for the info about the toyota oem part number. best regards from south america .
Big props to you! That looks terrifying...I'm just gonna pay for the repair.
Thanks for sharing, that helps a lot .
Good job. Seems daunting to tackle but good to know how to fix it.
Thanks Faye, you are the best.
Thanks for the video! I was trying to figure out how to replace my cracked and faded gear shift “plate, control” and replace the light bulb under it. Your tutorial on removing the gear shift knob saved the day and about $300 that the dealership wanted to charge for that and replacing my turn signal/headlight switch, which I did myself in about 10 minutes!
Oh my gosh that's so awesome!!! I'm so glad to hear, thanks for the comment!!!
i wish i was near you are a true mechanic best wishes
It's the little things that make your vehicle feel so much better right:) The 🐔 are so awesome:) Was that a purple paint pen Faye?:) Happy New year to you and your family:)
Thanks Faye! For those nay sayers who wouldn't fix this, man, 10min job and the wobble was killing me. Faye, you're directions were fantastic, especially the marking of the transmission connection with a marker - totally the kind of think I would miss doing turning a 10min job into an hour. The only thing different was, on my 2001, I didn't need to dismantle the hand shifter, just pulled the bolts and the one underneath, unclipped the 1 plug and the whole assembly comes off easy peasy. Thanks so much for the vid, my shifter feels tight again. Cheers!
Ty so much for uploading, saved my Prado haha
Thanks for your help. Now mine feels like new.
Awesome!! Thank you for letting me know!!😄
I got the Disney Plus channel, and I saw they had the Love Bug movie on there. I remembered what you said about it, so I watched it! I can't believe he was gonna sell poor Herbie! after all that Herbie did for him! Hahahah thanks Faye! If my shifter ever starts wobbling, I know what youtube video I will be watching again :D

Hello from Russia, nice job. We also love 4x4 cars) Happy New Year)
Watched your video . It guided me threw the whole process . Thank you so much 🙏 to the people complaining that it's too much labor . Of course it is , these are old vehicles . I'd rather pay $10 and do a 3 hour job, And know that I put the time and care . then pay a complete stranger $300-$400 bucks , and not know if they put the same effort that you did To get your car fixed .
I had wobbly shifter on my 2006 toy x runner. They wanted a ridiculous amount of money for a new one. I got it fixed 🙌.
Did the clean out flip and epoxy the two pieces 🤔.
👍 Enjoyed The Video... HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 😎
I don’t know if you get this a lot, I like your laugh.
Good video, simple fix for something that can drive a person crazy
Thanks a lot for this, at 320k I am a victim as well - not for long 😀. I see you have already done the cup holder swap from another year, well worth the effort.
If you haven't already done it, there is a rear suspension recall on these 1998 models. Rear seat is brutal. Had mine done in 2014, no charge at Toyota dealership 😎.
Just completed this repair and it is most definitely worth it! Thanks a bunch! Replace the shifter light and clean up the tight areas while you are there.
Dang I wish I thought of replacing the bulb
How long it take you to do it?
@@joserosa6880 an hour give or take.
Now the Forerunner can pass the Texas vehicle inspection...with a few days to spare. LOL
This can make you fail a vehicle inspection in texas? I don't even think cali is that strict.
@deimosphob Texas will not fail it. They couldn’t care les
Dry ice be like, "Faye is so cool!" Thanks for your help
Faye!!! I love your videos! My mother inlaw has a 2001 4Runner with this issue. Being the awesome CZcams Certified son inlaw that I am, looks like I'll be fixing this problem very soon!
Faye, I finally got around to doing this and it was so easy and quick to do. Thank you!
Well, I think I'm in love....nice fix!
awesome video Faye
Faye your really good as mechanic and good common sense. Yes.
Super detailed. Very helpful.
Cutest mechanic ever!! Great work Faye
Thank you! Needed this
Great simple video!!
Awesome vid.
Perfect, thank you! Got this done in about 45 mins; grand total: $6.00, a dirtied white T-shirt, & a few drops of sweat
NICE!!! That was faster than I did it! 😅
you are a champ keep it going
I miss all my snap-on tools.
Kids take care of your stuff!
