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 mad.gif frown.gif
