W-5* shifter bush

Hey! Can you change the shifter bush (the ring type one on the selector rail, which the stick goes into) without having to dissasemble the gearbox? and is this bush still available?

Yes, bushes are still available, around $20 all up from Toyota. I think you need to take the whole shifter part off the box to replace these. 6 bolts around where the shifter comes out.

If you are talking about the bush that is pretty much part of the gearbox, then no, you can't just buy that from Toyota.
You'd have to buy a whole new shifter elbow thingy.
And the box has to come apart for it to be removed.

whoops, misread...
if you disasemble the rear housing, and take the yoke of the selector shaft, its easy enough to get a (far better) steel bush machined and pressed in.
as glen or myself... we both now have very toight boxes

Yeah I was thinking it looked like i'd have to pull the back half off the box and remove the thing from the selector shaft. to get the flogged out bush out. I've got one box with a good bush in there but noisy bearings and another box thats quiet but with stuffed bush, might just swap the good bit over if i cant get a bush at short notice...

if you're talking about the bush for the selector shaft, then all you have to do is swap the rear housings. if you're talking about the nylon ball thing on the end of the gear stick, then that's even easier.

Yeah i had my bush replaced as ed said above.
- Take good box with shagged bush.
- remove rear housing
- There is one 10mm bolt holding the shifter extention arm in place, find it and undo.
- Slide shifter extention arm off the selector shaft.
- Do the same with the other box and just swap the extention arms over.
This will work perfectly assuming the shifter positions are identical between boxes. If they are not identical, then the entire shifter position will need to be changed, or at this point, take the extention arm to a machinist to have a new bush pressed in.
Its UBER toight!

You can't remove the rear housing without undoing the 10mm bolt.
Then the shifter extention arm and rear housing come off together.

I removed all 9 bolts holding the two halves together, and the 12mm headed bolt holding the bit with the offending bush to the selector shaft. the halfs are a bit loose, but they won't come apart, whats going on?

Have you removed the shifter housing and undone the 10mm bolt holding the shifter extention arm in?

Slightly off topic, but for the last few weeks I've been driving around with no shifter bushes (at all) in my W58. Every gear change is an adventure!
