I have a 1998 GT lift back with 101k miles.
It started as a soft, rubbery feeling when shifting into 2nd 4th or reverse to not being able to shift into those gears at all. Once it got in gear it was fine. 1st 3rd and 5th work wonderfully. I can't shift into the bottom gears while the car is off. Before reverse went out completely, I could roll the car in first a few inches, then shift reverse. Ideas? Thanks  getting tired of finding inclines to park on and/or having people run out of stores to ask if I need help starting my car because I'm pushing it out of the stall:p

you need new shifter cable set. the bottom gears push the cable, the cable is frayed or broken hence no push, pull is probably working by a couple strands

You're the second person to tell me shift cables. I'm having trouble finding a great source to buy these from and a guide to replace them. I'm not much of a car mechanic, maritime primarily.

It's a pretty simple thing to do! I think there's one car guy on the island with you...808celica or something like that. I don't know how far apart you guys are, but you never know.
Just look for people parting out GT's on here! |

Actually I met 808celica while about to push my car out of an auto parts store parking lot over here haha. Was the first guy to suggest shift cables. I called our toyota servco here, $610 for cables. Damn! |
