What a simple, concise explanation, I and my brother have been speculating for months about how to fix this and OH MY GAWWD there you are with the answer. I believe with the price of gasoline today you saved many people bazillions in repair cost. Thanks Man
Thank you for the video. I fixed mine today using your video as a guide! The shop was going to charge me $105.00 to do it. The only problem I ran in to was my 3 screws in the white piece were so tight, I almost stripped them. But with prayer and WD -40 I got them! Great video! ❤
Great Video...I was having to undo my negative battery cable just to remove my key. I was told it would be $$$ to repair, linkage this and cable that. After listening to his explanation and estimate I said I would return with my truck for repairs. Never being one to blindly trust a "mechanic" I did some research. I remembered him mentioning "bushings" that is when I found your video. Ordered the parts got the tools together and about an hour later...SUCCESS!!! Thank you so much. S. Ries
I'm as happy as you are after I found this nice guy who really know how to explain things clearly. ' Mechanic ' are way too expensive these days. Your friend, Edwin
Hey Roy. Thank you for the clear and direct to the point video. Your video helped me do this job in about 20 mins. Key interlock doesn't kidnap my key now. Lol Thanks again.
Roy, many thanks for this explainer video. No doubt... had I visited pretty much any mechanic... and I hazard to say my trusted mechanic, this $10 part and 1-hour self-repair might have been a transmission situation costing a whole lot more. My '03 Tacoma is in love with you today!
Took shroud off sprayed W-40 on mechanism that pushes in key release area cleaner dirt and grime...put key in turned off and on key came out every time... bushings were fine
I dont have any of these issues but suspect i will soon. I noticed that when i accel or decel i can feel the gear selector move.. it will rock fwd or backward depending on which way im going.. and if i hit the gas harder it will move more.. wonder if its a bushing or something loose…
Great teacher. However, after I quickly replaced the ones you described, I found that the other set was bad too. I replaced those as well. Our truck Has over 361k miles. Thanks for getting me started.
I removed the two screws on the shifter , to try to clean the shifter and now when I put in the screw , it doesn’t want to give me the key , but when I don’t I gives me the key what do I have to do ?
Aloha Roy...great video! My 2001 Tacoma PreRunner has 308k and I've been babying that shifter for too long. Just a quick question, it looks as if 1 person can do the project as long as they press the brake when in need of shifting the lever during the removal and install. Would that be correct? Thanks!
@@SCRnflz Do you happen to know the part number? Is it this: www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2002/toyota/tacoma/transmission/automatic_transmission_shift_linkage_bushing.html or this: www.partsgeek.com/catalog/2002/toyota/tacoma/transmission/auto_trans_shift_lever_control_rod_bushing.html
Thanks for the instructional video. Was able to replace my shifter bushings and finally stop struggling to get my keys out everyday.. mahaloz

I get mix reviews on this but do you have to replace the very bottom 2 bushings for the Prerunner too?
Hello, it this procedure similar to a 2001 Toyota 4runner 2WD? Do you need to go underneath and remove the linkage? Thank you

Are the other bushing in front of the ones changed in this video?
@@rylansawyer9162 4x4 have extra bushings the 2x4 is just these two
great video. What about replacing the white plastic cover part when it does not work.
Thank you. I replaced bulb for gear shift and light still isn't working, if you know how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks!
A 4 wheel drive has 4 of those bushings. I'm wondering how to get to the bottom 2.
You made it look easy-peasy! Thank you!!!
Thanks for watching.

I did this to my 2003 Tacoma now I can’t take the key out of the ignition it’s stuck any suggestions.
Hey brah, you forgot the other linkage under the plate. Need to replace that too. Aloha.
Do the bushings have to be for a prerunner or will the regular Tacoma bushings work
Great video, thanks for the help!
🤙🏽is there only 2 bushings or 4 total?
Thanks! This worked perfectly.
Do you have to depress the brake pedal to move the shifter out of park?
Yes! Thanks for always watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thanks - do you need to replace the bushings on the bottom shaft too or is just the top one enough? Great video,
From another video I watched, yes replace both sets of bushings. You'll need 4 bushings total.
Thank you my friend for this very helpful video ! Your frien, Edwin Olliveras
I removed the two screws on the shifter , to try to clean the shifter and now when I put in the screw , it doesn’t want to give me the key , but when I don’t I gives me the key what do I have to do ?
Anyone have the bushing part number or link to to where to buy it. My Toyota dealer is saying the part is obsolete

Why were u struggling putting back the bolt? Were u talking when it was fast forwarding
By chance you have the part number???
Are there 4 bushings to replace or 2?
It’s two sides to it, one on each end. Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
You should replace two sets of bushings on two pin slides. You'll need 4 bushings total.

You forgot 2 bushings.
I thought he 4x2 only had 2 4x4 has 4
Amazing how a little piece of plastic can screw you up.
I took my truck 2001 Tacoma to a shop and they charged me $468.00
Oh boy, is it possible they changed the cable too(?) Next time you know what to do! Thanks for watching 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
