Topic: '91 Toyota Corolla Shifter Problem; Need to Order Which Parts...?

[sandiegosunriser]

I have the following vehicle:

1991 Toyota Corolla 1701E
Mileage: 220,000
4-door
1.6 liter twin-cam 16 valve EFI 4-cylinder engine
Front-Wheel Drive
5-speed manual transmission
Power-Front disc brakes
Air-Conditioning

After the car is driven for about an hour,
the shifter starts popping out of gear into neutral.
I think this happens mostly in 3rd and 4th gears.

From what I hear, the shift-lever seat, seal, cap,
and bushing need to be replaced.

(Others have told me to have the transmission rebuilt.  )

The Toyota dealer wants to sell me:

Lever Sub-Assembly  $86.11
Retainer                  $119.09
Bushing                   $2.90

I am not a mechanic nor am I all that familiar with this stuff,
and am trying to find out specifically what parts to order
from Marlin Crawler.

I took a look but the site asks some specific questions
that I am unable to answer.

Maybe my best bet is to try and phone them...

well my best advice is pull off ur shifter boot and see how the shifter comes out  and pull it and look at whats going on and on the bottom on the shifter is where that bushing go's well at least on toyota trucks and as fas as i know man  MC does not deal with cars man there for off roading

Thanks.

I ended up [partially] trading in my 1991 Toyota Corolla for a 2010 Toyota Corolla LE.
The dealer gave me a whopping $250 towards the new one for $14,000 !
