Well this was the most informative video for this project that I could find. After putting the dash back together 3 dang times I ended up with one left over screw 😤 I HATE that but it's 113 here today so I am just done with it. Thank you for this video

Guess I'll be tearing into my 06 first before I even think about sending it to the shop.

thx for posting going to give this a try. Mechanic says 850 bucks plus tax to replace. Its like a $15 part. Highway robbery:)

Thanks for the video. You made the job much easier and faster. I have a 2004 senna.

Toyota dealer has the bushing for the shift cable for three dollars and change. I bought one today.

Thank you this video was very helpful in getting my shifter repaired. I was able to purchase the part from my local toyota dealer for around 2.00 likely the cheapest repair I have done.

i tried putting in the lower looper like you said and found that it made the seam quite bulky? also the top of the stitch had tunneling and not sure how to fix that

Thank you

I used your video to do the same thing on 2008 sienna. I looked at several videos and your was the best

You're the greatest by taking the time to show and explain the only parts to take off! ❤ Thank You for creating and posting this very valuable video 🙏 😃

Thank you for your help. You showed exactly what I needed to know when no one else did. Got my buttonholes made. Thanks much, Barb

Thank you fo

This is a very informative video, and thank you for making it. May I suggest that you find some form of camera stand, so you can use both hands to show exactly how to quarter the band.

Just did mines was simple explaining bought bushing at Toyota dealer for under 5 bucks🤙👍🏼

Thank you so much!!! You were so much help!!! Your video was the best in repairing my linkage 😊

Good job

Thanks for your help

GREAT INFORMATION! Thank you Kate!

You're the bestest ty

Thanks so much. You nailed it and I was able to complete the job following your instructions. Well done!

couldn't help but notice your cracked dash. i know there was a recall a few years ago that replaced a LOT of complete dash boards - due to cracking and extreme stickiness. I know it applied to our 2007 Sienna. No idea if it is still going on or not, but maybe worth looking at if you still have this vehicle..

Thank you!! Used this video to quickly take apart only the parts needed! I didn’t use the piece you have listed here but used the original part from Toyota dealership and it worked. I watched another video before yours and then watched yours. Opened everything up in 30 minutes! Thanks for this!

Thank you for helping my wife not cry

You smart young lady I have a van just like that and yes you're right you did not have to take nothing from the right side good work my band did the same thing I put it on Park and it kept going I haven't fixed the van cuz I have no time but I already took everything apart😂

Thanks for your help video

Thank you very much. I wouldnt have been able to repair my shifter without your tutorial. I appreciate it. The shifter cable ring came off.

Salute to you Kate..

great video just fixed my sienna used this video and it was easy had no idea how to do it but you made it easy thank very very much

Thank you, did it this mornin

Bless you for making this! I was completely stuck on this part of the pattern. I was shocked to find a video of precisely what I needed. Thank you so much!

Excellent video. I just made this repair and it was a tremendous help. The only thing I did different was used the OEM toyota bushing. It was surprisingly cheap too - $3.99

You don't have to remove glove boxes or the side panel on that side

$7 bushing from Toyota dealer, or $30 kit from Amazon. I almost purchased from Amazon based on the video. Thought I would check dealer price and I’m glad I did.

Thanks for the concise clear video. Learned from your experience exactly what i need to do and not do. Thanks.

Thanks so much! Same exact thing happened to me. Sienna is stuck in reverse. So happy to see your video. Waiting for a tow truck now. Will use this as a reference after I order the linkage and I have my tools.

Why so many Toyota sienna van shift cable have the same problem. Very dangerous if the shift cable not working well. Toyota should recall to fix it. Report to America Road safety Council.

LOUSY CAMERA VIEW; NO HELP WITH CLOSE UP VIEW.

Just watched 3 or 4 other videos. Really just to be sure that's what will be the problem with my friends sienna. I came across yours last and I am cracking up, because you are the only one who showed doing it with the least disassembly. And the only one that explains that! Great job dear! You just put the others to shame!

Thanks Kate

Great video. I’m thinking about making some videos of me (65 yrs old) changing my oil and doing repairs and just misc. Work around my place. Just to show that the ladies can do it too!

Thanks for this. We have an 09 limited that was just a little bit different and this was very helpful.

For anyone had the same issue .. make sure to go get the OEM part from your local dealership for $10 only and fits perfectly ... thank you Girl for this great video & explanations 👍👍👍

I cut an access hole to fix the problem. Watch my video. Quick and easy.

Thanks Kate. You saved me a bunch of time on NOT having remove the whole panel. It is so nice of you to share

If you're looking for a quick fix for your Toyota Sienna shifter cable bushing but no Toyota dealership near you carries the replacement bushing, but an auto parts store near you DOES carry the Dorman BUSHING REPLACEMENT PART 14797 (several near me carry this part), this comment is a brief guide detailing how it works as a replacement for the 2006 Toyota Sienna shifter cable bushing. This fix is very very beginner friendly. Takes a few hours. At my local Advance Auto Parts, this part was labeled by Dorman for a Jeep transfer case. But it does work for the 06 era Siennas as confirmed not only by me but many other people on UA-cam, forums and elsewhere. Dorman bushing 14797 cost me $16 before tax from Advance auto parts. AutoZone also had it for $18. Toyota dealerships/parts shops carry the OEM bushing (part #33835-08010) for only around $3-5 but locally they didn't have it in stock we couldn't wait, the car was needed next morning, so I went to Advance and got this Dorman bushing after seeing it suggested on various websites. The whole repair process took me 2-3 hours working very slowly and carefully and watching UA-cam videos (of which there are several really good ones) while completing the repair. It could take an experienced mechanic an hour or probably less, and could take a complete novice up to 4 or more hours. This is a simple replacement even for a beginner as long as you have basic tools listed below. -----DIY'ing this will potentially save you hundreds, like $5-600 at dealerships and other places that would charge you an arm and a leg for this simple fix. Local honest shop may charge less, DIY is obviously always cheapest. To go on with the rest of this guide you'll want to open two videos on youtube, one by Kate Chism and one by Usman the Mechanic. Search "Toyota sienna shifter cable replacement" into youtube and these two vids should be near the top. The rest of this guide will reference those two videos several times so for clarity you should have them ready to go. Now: Different Methods of fixing this problem: 1) COTTER PIN METHOD: use the cotter pin method shown by Usman the Mechanic which seems to be a super solid fix, may require disassembling more panels than other methods as he explained, and requires you to have a drill and cotter pin (common stuff) 2)BUSHING REPLACEMENT METHOD: Probably not as sturdy of a fix as the cotter pin method. But you can get away with only disassembling drive side panels if you're in a hurry. In both methods the repair is pretty simple, all the methods I've seen are done entirely from the interior of the car and you don't need any expensive or uncommon tools. I chose the second method, replacing the bushing, which is why my comment starts off talking about the bushings. You won't need to buy a replacement bushing if you use the cotter pin method shown in this video. TOOLS NEEDED: -- You'll need some sort of pry tool, a phillips head screwdriver, and a 10mm socket wrench to remove and reinstall door panels. -- To make the bushing install easier, you'll want needle nose pliers and some sort of lubricant to help snap the bushing into place, i just used motor oil but white lithium grease would work better. Okay, now for some brief details about the repair. Very helpful to watch the video on UA-cam by Kate Chism. Her method is the exact method I used to disassemble the dash panels and access the shifter cable. There's also other methods shown on UA-cam such as the one by Usman the Mechanic and other good ones. Many of them are good references and worth watching even if you go with the Kate Chism method, the method used here. As said earlier it's useful to watch the Usman video if you want to consider the cotter pin fix. Again, UA-cam search "toyota sienna shifter cable replacement" and you'll find them near the top. And again, If you follow the Kate Chism method here, all of the work will be done from the drivers seat area and you won't have to remove the passenger side/ glovebox stuff like is demonstrated in Usman the Mechanic's video and others. I will not detail how to undo the lower dash panels because it's WAY better explained in the videos. So you gotta have a video or manual open unless you already know how to take apart the lower dash. As long as you have proper tools getting the panels out of the way should probably take you less than an hour. Easy peasy. Once you get the dash panels out of the way and confirm the problem (broken bushing leading to unattached shifter cable), you can begin getting the your new bushing into position. This will take some fiddling and some awkward positions but it is not too difficult using the method below. First clear out the loose panels and anything else in the way of you manipulating the shifter cable. The bushing will be VERY tight so the best way to get it into the proper position is TO PUSH THE BUSHING THROUGH THE SHIFTER CABLE FIRST. As opposed to pushing the bushing onto the rectangular gear selector shaft first. Now push the new bushing, loop-end first, into the circular opening of the shifter cable loop. Insert it loop-end first right to left, or console-side to door-side, and push it as centered and as snug as you can get it. It will probably be too difficult to push through all the way with your hands -- here's where needle nose pliers come in handy. Grab the looped end of the bushing from the other side (driver door side) with the needle nose pliers. Pull it through by slowly increasing your force with the pliers, and it should snap through super snug. Now get the shifter cable with your new bushing in it out of the way because we're about to lube the rectangular metal shaft that it will snap around. we don't want to get too much lube on the shifter cable and bushing itself because it will make it harder to manipulate over the metal shaft into the proper position. So move the shifter cable of the way of the rectangular metal gear selector shaft. Then Apply a little lube all over the rectangular metal shaft. I used motor oil, you can use lithium grease or whatever you got really. Now push your shifter cable with the new bushing over the lubed rectangular shaft. Make sure you snap it snug all the way in place. Now check to make sure it's on there properly, pull back on the shifter cable and see if you can yank it off. If you can't easily pull it off it should be good to go. Before you start assembling panels back together you should test your work, see if moving the gear knob now moves the gears like it should. If it does, congratulations. Good luck out there

Thank you for your video. It was very helpful!

Thankyou. This was really helpful and turned it into a quick fix.

Can you please link for part

Nothing you did !! Wasting my time

Great helpful video. I used the dorman 14797 bushing replacement. You can find it at any auto parts store. I had to put the bushing on the shifter shaft first with a little lube and snapped the cable loop on second. It went on with a little push fairly easy and seems to be working well. Hope this also helps.
