Topic: Special Toy service tool?

[scooter]

I'll be replacing my L50 tranny with a rebuilt L52 as soon as Marlin can put one together for me.  Looking at my repair guide, it says I need a special service tool from Toyota #09305-20012 in order to pull the shift lever.  Do I really need it or can I improvise with something home built?

The shifter?  There are 4 12mm bolts that hold the shifter onto the tranny.  No special tool needed for that unless i am missing something you need to take off inside the tranny.

you can do it by using a pair of needle nose pliers too, push down on the spring loaded cup thats at the base of the shifter and turn it counter clockwise a 1/4 turn to release the shifter.

OO, didn't think of taking the shifter apart.  But why would you need to do that unless just to change the boot?

Makes your truck not smell like 90W gear oil would be my only guess
