THANK YOU FOR THIS! Single mom here, stuck at work with no one to call ... I fixed it (temporarily) and can at least get my children and get home!!! ❤❤❤❤

Have a 2003 Corolla. The cable/grommet apparently gave out as I was backing out of a parking space effectively leaving me stuck in reverse. A little creative backing and I got it out of the way into another parking space. I called the Toyota dealer (4 blocks away), explained the problem, and was told it was likely the a disconnected shift cable. To have it towed the 4 blocks, parts and labor would be $800-$1200 and 5 to 7 days to get it done. Then I found this video. Had my buddy come take me to the parts store and rounded up some tools, returned to the car and in about an hour was all fixed and ready to go. Can't remember exactly what the grommit cost, but paid for it with what little pocket money I had on me. Roy, you and this video saved me a TON of money and prevented the dealer from putting the screws to me. THANK YOU!!!

You are an angel! I got out from surfing & I couldn’t get my car in gear. I called a friend & he told me what it might be & I looked up your video & was able to do a makeshift fix in 10 minutes, until I can get the little black rubber piece. Thanks man!

Roy you are an angel. My shifter popped off and I had no idea what was going on. All the shops told me it was gonna be a huge job but it wasn't. You have no idea how thankful I am.

Mahalo! 2007 Corolla just quit shifting TODAY! And after ‘only’ 191,000 miles. This saved me from being ripped off! Many thanks

Mahalo Roy! Even being a novice I was able to follow your instructions and fix my 2007 corolla 🤙

Thank you so much! Your video helped me avoid paying $200+ dollars and towing it across town. I can't thank you enough for uploading this. ❤️

Thank goodness for you doing this video. I just had this problem and called the local dealership and was told they don't sell the bushing, but I can bring it in for them to look at it. I bought a replacement bushing for under 10 dollars and fixed it in just a few minutes. I saved a few hundred, I'm sure. Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for your detailed video. My granddaughter had just spent $1,500 replacing fuel pump the night before and she cried when she tried to move her car under carport because the transmission was not responding. She was traumatized, she has low income and couldn’t afford a transmission repair. You are an angel 😇 it cust my husband $12. For the part an lubricant ❤

Dude, Mahalo for this video! This is exactly what happened to my 2007 Corolla. It is now fixed. Thanks to you!

Roy THANK YOU SO MUCH! You have no idea how much I appreciate you. This video save me $600 or more. I thought it was the starter. My car would not turn on. And the gear stick was gliding up and down. The little rubber was all broken up. 20 minutes doing the repair and it is working like a charlar! Thanks again. Blessings

Thank you sir $4 bushing 😀

Very much appreciated. I found your video and did for six dollars what some crazy mechanic wanted to charge me $150 for!

Thank you so much. I followed your step by step explanation to fix my 2007 Corolla that had same exact problem.

Thank you from Singapore! Did this repair on a 2007 Corolla Altis thanks to your great explanation video!

Great Video ! 🤙 my only Q ? No metal clip needed to hold part on ??

I would like to thank you for taking the time to make this video. I had the same problem and it indeed was the bushing wearing out and disintegrating. The most helpful part was when you recorded yourself reinstalling the new bushing. I was struggling with that part until I paid attention to your technique. Note: WD40 as a lubricant works great as well do not try this without some type of lubricant.

Thanks a lot. I was very nervous when the car wouldn't shift. I thought OH BOY a $500 fix.

You've saved a lot of money. Thanks,

A very common problem with Toyota and I dare say other makes. Toyota suppliers have obviously gone for a cheap design linkage to cut cost. My friend was stuck with this problem on an open road with no idea of fault repair nor indeed location of fault. Thanks for the video.

Just got done fixing it with your instructions on your video your description in here with the parts number and tools really help thanks a lot I couldn't find that part anywhere until I want to the dealer it was really easy Once getting the piece

Thank you for this!!! I can’t believe I almost towed my car for such a simple fix!!!

Much appreciated, very easy and detailed explanation.

Thanks you just saved me another expensive repair

Thank you. This was very detailed.

I think the cable didn't come loose yet otherwise you are not able to shift at all , mine on 2003v6 Highlander went to neutral after it broke or the came out of the bushing, but great demonstration and saved the cable from getting loose for many years to drive and shift!

Thank you. You saved me a towing fee and labor!

Thank you! Happy 2003 Corolla owner 🥰

thanx for the info, great job explaining it. i have this car, so i might be back for more great how to videos

Thank you. so much! I was able to fix my car that was stuck in reverse!

Thank you so much for this 🙏

Thank you for this video please keep up the great work love your videos very well made Aloha from Oahu Hawaii

Thank you! Had the same exact issue! Also, could not find a replacement at any of the local auto parts stores. A nearby dealership had it. $4.18 for the bushing and problem fixed.

Thanks for the great video Roy! I did the work right along with you on my phone next to me in the car.

Looks very similar to the Sienna shifter bushing. Almost looks just like it. If it is then the dorman 14797 should work. It worked perfect on the 2009 Toyota Sienna I worked on.

I was told the grommet wasn’t available from a dealer by someone, only the entire cable. Did you get it from a Toyota dealer? Do you have a part number? Great video!

No idea why you took all that apart. I just slipped it in taking the shifter cover off and bam.

Best repair video ever!!! Thank you!

Great video. Thank

you rock! I did it on sienna 2006 and works great!

This was very helpful thanks you do very well explaining

thanks for the video 😀. mine is okay . i can shift no problem, but the shift handle is sometimes slightly stiff to move . what can i lube to make it smoother (transmission oil is fine). thanks

thank you so much dude

I truly appreciate your video. As others have said, It saved all of us $$$. Mahalo 👊😎🤙

Thanks you. You made it easy.

Godsend! Thank you!!!

good explanation thanks

THANK YOU

So about how much that cost? My car was just towed to Firestone to fix it tomorrow! The neighbor told me exactly what it was! If I would it see this video earlier I would it done it myself! 😂

Thank you!!

Hi.the shifter on my corolla just slides from p to L. Without stopping on each gear. Is this the same problem as the one on the video?

Super helpful thanks!

Excellent. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video!!

Thank you sir!

Does it fit a 2001 Corolla automatictransmission. I have the same issue

Thank you very helpful!

really cool video 👍

I went to put it into Park . Once I took my feet off the pedal car was still moving. I lifted up brake and turned it off. I think it's still in the D mode? You think it's the same problem as your video? Looking for help

Why do you have to shift gear into Neutral before removing anything and also before putting everything back together?

Hi. I was hoping you could answer a question for me. I have a 2004 Sport Corolla that had a broken transmission shifter cable that needed to be replaced. Is this a piece that can be vandalized by someone if they want to wreck your car. Is it easily accessible? I'm sorry to ask such a random question, but I'm hoping someone can let me know exactly where the cable is and how easy it is to break? Someone recently vandalized my car and I am worried they may have come back and broken the shifter cable. Thank you to anyone who might be able to help me with this information.

Could you use any other solution for lubricant?

Please I'm having serious issues right now with my Toyota Corolla 06 gear box, even bought a new gear box still having the same issues please help me I have spend alot of money am tired 😩 the issues is that i can't reverse and it only select gear 2

The cable/bushing went onto the shifter shaft so easily, I wonder why it doesn't fall off. You said you'd "snap" it on, but I didn't hear any snap. Looked like you barely pushed.

how about to mazda 323 familia is that the same

Will it work for toyota corolla 2003?

Mahalo my 2001 tundra shift cable bushing just broke

What size of the grommet

Would this be the concept for a highlander?

I have a 2011 Corolla and my automatic shifter is kinda stiff to put in drive

Great

Nah but my car wouldn’t even turn on nd I was still faced with this problem 😫

Those rubber grommets Seemed to be a weak point For Toyota But easy enough to fix
