Life saver vid here buddy!
Wife left for work, van wouldn’t shift out of D the van was 100% stuck in the middle of the road at 7 am!
I just slapped this vid on, grabbed 3 tools, 10mm socket, screwdriver, pry bar and tore the dash apart WHILE I LISTENED TO YOU DO IT!
I had faith it ya, you came thru!
Had the the dash gutted and held the shifter in place, get it going, out of the road, and safe in 25 mins, grabbed my kid and got her to school in time too!
Now… will it take 25 minutes to fix?
25 days is more likely 🤷🏾
Good job! Too bad the design leaves us vulnerable. Good thing everyone was safe.
@@projectfixit yea, modern engineering of consumer grade products is just pitiful, or it would be pitiful if it wasn’t entirely planned to fall apart and promptly becomes cheaper and easier to just replace stuff with a new product. The fact that I can’t afford to do that aside, I highly disapprove of this “trash culture” that we’ve been sucked into.
It is bad for everyone except shareholders in tge corporations that rip us off, bad for our mental state, bad for the environment, bad for the pocketbook and what’s worse is that we’re passing that on to our kids and it just keeps getting more out of hand.
At this point consumers have no control over the situation unless we just refuse to participate, voting with your wallet doesn’t work now, I doubt it ever did.
It’s so bad, our society so sick that people look down on you for fixing things or even having out of date toys… half or more of the tvs and appliances I see on the curb work just fine when I try them out… half of folks are dying to upgrade, the other half is just sick and dying
You are doing the 2004 Sienna community world a favor!!! You rock brother!!! ❤ rock on 🤘
Thanks! I appreciate the feedback! Take care.
Just did the repair and went just as shown. Ecstatic!! Thank you for taking the time to share. 👍🏾
Outstanding. I am happy to have helped. Thank you for watching!
you all probably dont give a damn but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Jason Beau instablaster =)
@Darwin Noah I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Darwin Noah It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you really help me out!
Several years later and still helping. Thanks for showing how the panels come off. Yuge!
Sweet!. Thanks for commenting!
I found and temporary fixed my problem in a parking lot with 4 kids in the car, and was able to get home because of you. Just need to buy the part now . MANY THANKS!
Fantastic! Comments like yours make making these videos all worth while. I hate you were put in that position. Good luck on the final repair and thank you for taking the tome to comment.
Great information! The was the second bushing replacement I made in 2 months. The first was a Ford Focus with the same exact problem. The bushing was different from the Sienna also bought from BushingFix.
First time my sienna got stranded at night. Thanks for the detailed vid. Fixed it the very next morning. If you want it to go smooth get the kit he has in the video or the dealer bushing. The dorman 14055 is annoying to install and took me longer than it shoulda
Thanks for posting. My van suffered the same problem late night on Friday. By Sunday afternoon, I completed the repair after receiving my repair kit via Amazon!
Sweet! Got to love the surprises our vehicles hold for us, right?
Thanks for your tips ; they were well put together and I agree.....$500 for a $ 5 part replacement seems to not make much sense...and so your own fix made it right. Thanks again. May God bless you.
Awesome. I am happy it worked well for you. Thank you for watching my video!
Thanks for the video. When I was working on mines, I went to o'Reilly and got something called "e-clip assortment". That was just a temporary fix which allowed me to get the car off the road to my home. I'm going to ordering the part in this video.
Excellent. Thank you for watching and commenting. Good luck with the repairs.
Thx for your time. Just had the same issue with my (64k miles) 2009 Sienna CE. Toyota part #33835-08010 at 4 dollars. This part is just the rubber grommet with no colored sleeve. Pressed it into linkage ring / hole and slid it on. boom done 👍. Spent about 4 hours taking dash apart and reassembling. Took my time because there’s several black and silver bolt / screws to keep track of all at 10mm. Watch out for the shroud that holds the shifter. There’s plastic nipple / pins on top both sides that keep it in place. I broke both but still attached well. Funny, the knucklehead Toyota parts guy chuckled while telling me I’m lucky because they just started selling these rubber bushings separately instead of the entire linkage cable. Gee Toyota, thanks for not bending me over the counter at 3 hundred. They pulled that on me with my Avalon window crank assembly. All was needed was the gear. Had to buy entire unit at 500. So much for an environmentally conscious car manufacturer.
Thanks for your tips...I hope you should at least know the possibility of the return of Jesus Christ by 2028....but take it with a grain of salt.
Please from where you purchased this part? (33835-08010)
Thanks for the part number! Just called it in to my Toyo dealership today and they'll have it in 2 business days for less than $2!
Thanks for the part number; Toyota dealer down the street from me had one in stock and I was able to get this all fixed up in one day.
Just wanna chime in with a big ol' thanks for this video. Van wouldn't shift out of reverse last night; I looked it up, got to your video, and it is back to normal as of this morning. You really saved my bacon here, Project Fix-It.
Excellent! I am happy my video has helped. It makes me feel good as I, too, turn to UA-cam when I encounter car challenges. Take care and enjoy your Sienna.
Thank you for this video , very thorough. I'm about to attempt the same repair.
Good luck! Be patient with all the darn screws and covers. lol. Make note of the front hood latch. It is kinda like a bicycle cable set-up. Mine came loose and I fiddled with it for a little while while putting covers back together.
OMG...TY..mine just went out/off today..will try it!!
You are welcome. I am so happy this video is helping so many out there! I am also very sorry this type of repair is needed especially on a Toyota.
I hope this part fits my 08. Just took the dash apart and same thing. Thanks for the helpful video!
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting and good luck!
thank you very much for this video it saved me a lot of money .
Sweet! I'm happy this documentation helped!
Great video and thanks for the help. Found the video while waiting for the tow-truck driver. If my Toyota was in a parking spot and dealer had the part, could have just fixed it later in the day. Bushing came 2 days later from Toyota for $3 total...wow! Thankfully tow was paid for by insurance company.
Sweet. It sounds like your dealer was able to hook you up on parts. Sorry this happened to you, too. It's quite unexpected to be broke down for something like this.
Fantastic. Got everything removed and am heading to the dealership tomorrow to get the grommet. They told me I could buy just this part..as another commenter shared. Fingers crossed.
This took me about an hour. My observations supplemental to this great vid:
Some of these panels that are dangling can be removed to make the job easier. Remove electrical harnesses if you understand generally how to release them from their respective connections.
Use a panel puller to help pop things loose. A small light duty one will suffice.
All the bolts that need to be removed are covered here. Remember you are unhooking plastic panels. Bolts that connect metal to metal are out of scope for this job..and you will cause you confusion removing unnecessary bolts.
Watch this video several times before you start. Make some notes to get your brain aligned with how toyo engineered this area of the van.
Label all your bolts with a general description of where you removed them.
Forgot to mention. The elusive cabin air filter. This job serves up access to it on a silver platter. Spend the $10 and replace while your at it.
One more update after the job.
1. Watch the woodgrain bezels. Both of the tips chipped off during this job and they did not get manhandled or anything. I didn't even see when either breaks occurred. Possibly when popping back into place. I'm guessing 15 years worth of sun damage brittled them.
2. Mine is a 2004 and my dealership part number matched perfectly with what UnitedSoundVideo had. I paid $1.97. Southeast USA.
Perfect. Thank you for your comments!
I just ordered the same kit you got. Thank you for making this video.
Excellent! Have fun taking off all the covers! It is unfortunate this type of item fails on our Toyota's!
@@projectfixit Was that purple plastic thing hard to install? I have literally been wrestling with mine for half an hour, and I still cannot get it in. My fingers are all torn up, and I'm giving up for now. This is frickin crazy.
@@projectfixit Fucking Toyota bullshit. It took me 45 minutes just to get that purple thing installed. My fingers are fucked up, and my arm is bleeding. Fucking unbelievable. I fucking hate modern cars. I really need to get rid of this piece of shit.
@@BEEBEE159 sorry for the late reply. There should have been lubricant and a small black push tool. However....still a bear to snap into place. With all the battle scars, you have a story to tell.
@@projectfixit Yep, I used the grease. These modern cars are such a waste of time. They either put you in the poor house, if you always pay others to fix them, or they waste all of your time, if you do it yourself. I'm planning to get a motorcycle, and ditch the four wheels. I've had it. I am a very small person, and I don't need a four thousand pound hunk of steel and cheap plastic to get around in.
Thank you for sharing this - helped immensely especially to see what not to try; saved time and money :-)
Awesome! You are welcome and thank you for watching and commenting! Take care.
Thanks for the excellent diagnosis and repair tips. I just bought a dashcam /rear cam combo and was in the middle of testing the backup camera feature when my 2004 Sienna wouldn't go forward. I thought the backup connection had shorted some computer gadget when I watched your video. I had the same issues taking the whole lower dash apart darn near. First pix is what I found, 2nd is where I placed the cable on temp so I could shift it to Park. With it in reverse, you can't start it and when you take the emergency brake off, the car starts to roll down my steep driveway! Thanks again, my bushing is on order.
Sorry, they won't let me send pictures in comments.
Oh my goodness. What crazy luck. My wife was in a Taco bell drive thru when it happened to her. LOL. Anyway, good luck on the repair and thank you for commenting!
Awesome video -- hugely helpful. Just did this repair on my 2004 Sienna. The bushing from Toyota costs $2 and can be pushed into the cable collar with your fingers and snaps easily onto the shifter pin also by hand. Add a little lithium grease and you're all set. Others had reported that Toyota will only sell you the cable. Not true anymore. I didn't have to pull the right side of the dash other than the upper map storage (as also reported by others). If the dash piece under the steering wheel gets in your way you can just unplug the cables easily.
Excellent feedback! Thank you for watching and for adding helpful tips for future viewers.
The bushing i got from toyota wont fit onto the collar? Im pushing it really hard but it wont go
Excellent. I am glad Toyota is selling a kit or at least some dealers will sell a kit. Thank you for your input and feedback. All is very helpful!
Great job man. Thank you
You are welcome!
Thanks again. Have you thought about doing a preventative maintenance series where you tell us what you would replace / check when you are working on different things to save future labor for the 2004 Sienna. Example at 150k do radiator and fan shroud with hoses / coolant.
Thanks for the tip…
Awesome job
No Problem and thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for making this video. I can solved the same problem. Thanks a lot
You are welcome. I am happy to help.
This happened to my car this past Wednesday night. I easily took the entire dash apart and had the part by Thursday. Took about 60 seconds to fix the actual piece.
The part is now $30 on Amazon but it beats $300 all day thanks!
Sorry this happened to you. It's quite inconvenient when it does. Thank you for your feedback.
Awesome job thank you
Thank you for your kind words and thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot this video help me a lot you just save me a lot of money
You bet! Thanks for taking the time to comment! Have a good one.
Love you 💖
Thank you so much!
You are welcome.
Good video and thank you. I used the Dorman 14797 which is clear looking and similar in shape to the ones you returned. The way I put this one on was by putting it on the shaft first and snapping the cable loop on after. A little lube might help for ease of snapping in place.
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback!
@@projectfixit Thank you for the very helpful vid.
Excellent video. Wow, it is a royal pain to get to the shifter linkage cable :(
It sure is, and seems to happen at the worst possible moment. Well, I guess there isn't any ideal moment for the shifter linkage to fail. Thanks for the feedback!
That was good video, the only one thing I wasn’t agree with you I got the shift cable kit in Toyota dealer only $4 and I fixed
Thank you for the feedback! This is good news that Toyota will sell the bushing. Thank you for watching!
I have seen where some have drilled a small hole in the shift rod and then installed a cotter pin to keep cable on
I saw that, too. However, I didn't want any slop in my shifter linkage. That would drive me crazy. This little kit from Amazon worked well and no issues since.
Good video. You could have drilled out the bushing with a 5/16 drill to enlarge the hole in the bushing.
Thanks! Yea. I did't think of that. I am sure if the internet led me to a dead end on a replacement bushing, I might have resorted to that. Thanks for watching!
Thanks much for the video man. I was think transmission fdup. Gotta order the parts now. Should save few hundred bucks from repair shop. It doesn't make sense to spend 500 when the whole car value is 2000
You bet!....Certainly a cheap fix, but a pain in the rear when it happens unexpectedly.
@@projectfixit yep, no fun. I got it fixed btw
As far as I know Toyota only sells the bushing integral with the shifter cable. Amazon does sell a bushing kit for the Siennas. The kit is also available from bushingfix.com. The kit is the BP1kit for the sienna and runs about $30. A shifter assembly runs over $300 from the dealers.
Nice
Yes, sir. Thank you for watching.
My car shift into All Gear except D, immediately I move the shift from P, R, N,4 but will not light up D, in D position it shows 4, in 4 positions it shows 4
How long did it take you to take if all of and then it back together? I'm trying to do this in the morning?
Give yourself about two hours.
@@projectfixit yes, that is how long it took. Appreciate your video as my son and I knocked it out this morning.
@@trailerclub172 Excellent!
I'm trying to fix my van 😭😭 2004 but the auto store don't have bushing kit to fit my van, Can someone tell me the measurement? Thanks I have a mess with everything out. Please
I don't have the size, but Walmart has the kit online at www.walmart.com/ip/Toyota-Sienna-Automatic-Transmission-Shift-Cable-Repair-Kit-with-Replacement-Bushing-Automotive-Auto-Trans/950845832?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=12038&&adid=22222222227149509209&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=262130175111&wl4=aud-834279576126:pla-432629737883&wl5=9027669&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=125194746&wl11=online&wl12=950845832&veh=sem
@@projectfixit Thanks I fix it, I bought some similar, also I have toyota dealership and my husband said "call them, guess what they told less than a $2 and I spent 23 trying to find the right one but anyway all your directions followed and fix it. Thanks
@@guerreradecristo777 Fantastic! I am happy it all worked out well for you in the end.
Dealer here in orlando fl started selling them for 10 bucks i changed them alot including Corolla
Sweet. Thanks for commenting!
what if is not the shifter and is underneath car from the transmission
If that is the case and has been verified, I would check the bottom side linkage. I personally had not run into this on my vehicle. I would verify the top linkage, first.
I hear your blend door actuator ticking also
yep. .....lot's of clicking and ticking behind the dash! LOL
Can I get a link or the part number or name of the product I’ve got this same exact issue wrong with mine.
Bushing kit (amzn.to/3l7yIWe)
@@projectfixit thanks for the reply but my daughters grand father insisted on taking it to the dealership says he wants someone licensed to do it!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 never been more insulted. It’s whatever tho they charged him like 500 to do it
@@scottkerr2815 Sorry I didn't reply sooner. It's unfortunate this type of failure happens and if the dealership charges 500 bucks for the repair, more than likely means they are changing the complete cable. Some viewers have commented the dealerships are now carrying the bushing kit.
@@projectfixit yea they said they were replacing the cable it’s still bs could have fixed it for 30. Oh well it wasn’t my money.
Dang, it took ya forever to remove bull crap coverings to fix a 50 seconds item. You have more patients then me.
LOL. I am sure my technique of removing the covers wasn't the most efficient. I just documented my experience to help the next guy or gal. Thanks for watching and chiming in! I love all the feedback and comments! Take care.
Hi, your video helped me but I got the bushing from my local toyota dealer, 2.81 + Tax Part# 33835-08010. Thank you
Could you start the engine when you had problems
Mine was stuck in neutral. Therefore, it allowed me to start the vehicle.
Did you figure out the problem?
