.....have any of you removed the gearstick, & if so, is there a little cup shaped bush over the ball on the bottom end of the stick?
Mine's never had one, so one day when I was at Pickies, I hunted around for a T-50, and found one, or what looked like one, at least it had the same gearstick and the base that bolts the stick to the box was identicle, so I took the stick.
When I got home, I managed to pry the little bush thing off, but dammit, the little bugger was too small to fit on the end of my shifter. After closer inspection, my stick was thicker & had a bigger ball on the end.
Funny thing is, when I tried to fit the smaller stick to my gearbox, with the bush on the ball, it wouldn't fit into the cup thing on the selector shaft. Without the bush it was really sloppy.
Today I got one of the little cup shaped bush thingies from Castle Hill Toyota, but it's the same as the one that's too small. Now I'm thinking maybe I got the one for the aus spec T50, but before I go back to change it, I wanna know if the jap spec has one of these bushes.
It seems funny that the smaller sticks bush was too small for the end of my stick, yet too big for the selector shafts cup.
So anyway, if anyone has a jap spec box & has 20 min to pull the shifter out, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm hoping this bush will stop my gearstick rattling and just tighten things up a bit.
