Hi!
Is there some way to make the shifter feel more direct? It feel really sloppy compared to my previous celica (1990). I noticed the shifter assembly in my 5th gen was made of metal and the one in the 6th gen is made of plastic...It seems like a downgrade to me !? I noticed rubber washers where the assembly is mounted, I'll probably remove that but I dont think I'm going to get back the "mecanical clicking" feel I was used to and loved... Also when I got in 2,4 or reverse engaged, it seems like I can still pull the shifter a good 1 inch further down, is that extra play normal??? I really feel like i'm handling a plastic stick   --------------------  -Rémy 02 SiR, 08 250R |

I have been told that a couple of thins can affect shifting smoothly.
First and most ugly is the transmission. Try changing the fluid. Motor mounts. If they are loose or just worn out they can cause problems. Cable bushings. The stock ones are rubber so they can wear out. Try replaceing them with a set from here: http://www.speed-source.net/ I am also going to go through all of this with my St. Mine you have to sometimes force it into first. Other times it goes in without any force at all. This post has been edited by bindertch: Apr 6, 2006 - 10:03 PM |
