Hey All -
My car started slipping out of 5th gear back in June (2015). I took i t to a trusted local shop and they said that basically the full 5th assembly is worn out, but they couldn't order parts. I have worked with the local dealership and even a contact at Toyota HQ in California. Turns out the very last part I need (5th / reverse shifter fork) doesn't exist. It is on a list to be made in Japan, and then will have to be shipped over on a boat. BEST case scenario I am looking at about two more months to get the part. If there is any sort of problem in shipping or customs it could take an extra month. So now, I am considering buying a full new (used) transmission. Anyone have a parts car?? I have a UPS account that can take care of shipping, so don't let that scare you! Tell your friends! Details: 1999 Celicat GT 180K Miles Daily driver 5-speed |

It checks junk yards/scrap yards for what you need. I just looked for you and there is 4+ pages of s54 transmissions it states mileage ect. You could find one local or within a reasonable driving distance. Just don't waste your time on door panels... They all are in 5/10 condition or not willing to ship haha. |
