When I was at my track day yesterday I was sometimes having problems shifting into 3rd gear under high rpm. It was weird, the shift felt soft when I pushed it into 3rd almost like if I pushed any harder my fist would go through the console. I knew it couldn't be a tranny thing, it had to be something with the shifter so I pulled the center console and started playing with it. I noticed whenever I put it into 3rd the hard plastic shifter assembly flexed a little. Does anyone have a fix for this? I know some people switch to a metal assembly but I do not know if that is an option for our cars. It is really annoying to not know if you have the car in gear before you let out the clutch.

I have gone through and replaced the shifter base bushings and 1 of the shifter cable bushings. I am having problems with the larger size shifter bushing. Every single one I have ordered has been too big for the bushing hole. mad.gif Does anyone know where I can get the proper sized aluminum or brass shifter cable bushings for a 1997 Celica GT?

BUMP

Can someone answer my question above? I think that one bushing I cannot find the right size is the problem because my 3rd gear shifting problem only happens when the car is hot. I am guessing that rubber bushing gets soft and starts to have a lot of play.
