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 |

Well, I installed the brass ones yesterday. I have to say that it feels much better now. Much firmer, more defined. Its alot louder when shifting now - you can hear the gears go in with almost a clunk.
And its also harder to shift quickly. When shifting slowly it feels great, but when trying to throw it into a gear, it slips out nicely, but then almost catches on something before going in with a clunk? What would be causing that and how can I fix it? |
