Corolla Shift Cable Bushing Replacement (2003-2008), no more Sloppy “Spaghetti” Manual Shifter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 лип 2024
- Third episode in the new series, Wrenchin’ on the ‘Rolla, where I work on my 2004 Corolla with 5 speed manual transmission, an ongoing project towards perfection. On today’s episode we replace the manual transmission shift cable bushings, and remember nothing is ever as easy as it seems…
This tutorial covers the 2003-2008 (9th gen) North American Toyota Corolla models with the 5-speed C59 manual transmission. The Toyota Matrix and Pontiac Vibe of the same generation are probably very similar as well. I cannot speak for the similarities to the performance XRS/GT models with the 6-speed C60 transmission.

Very well documented fix , good to see people taking the time to show what is really envolved in a job
A video in a video in a video and you thought to make a video of it .thank you. Excellent video
Was very informative. Hope this works on the similar issues with Corolla altis 2010
Thanks for this! Gonna have to figure out the issue with my 98 RAV4’s cables
Good luck, will feel like a new car afterwards!
I hope this works on mine. It'll go onto center position top or bottom when going into first or second gear and move like neutral but in the other gears it moves normally and is solid in place
Awesome video! Just did this job on my XRS, and the corrosion is a pain. Took a Dremel to my old bushings to remove them, but the hassle was definitely worth it.
Thanks for the comment! I remember I’ve seen some of your videos before, the one that comes to mind is the rear disk brake conversion. But after seeing this comment I went back and checked out your channel again, lots of new content I’m going to watch.
I see you’ve got both a 1zz & 2zz corolla now, not many people have both for a direct comparison. How much faster/more fun is the Xrs in your opinion?
@@BrenoAutoGarage Thanks for the kind words! The XRS is definitely a good bit quicker and more fun to drive, especially given that the XRS is manual versus my automatic Corolla LE. Very sweet to bring the 2zz all the way past 8k rpm!
Haha did the same thing a year ago. Nothing would crack the stupid corrosion for me either so I used a Dremel. Great minds think alike
This was very helpful, thanks heaps
Thanks for the comment, glad it helped
Good stuff. Thank you!
You’re welcome, and thanks for the comment!
GRACIAS. (WB40)
So is there any "trim" on those shifter cables? This looks a lot like my celica's manual transmission and it has stopped going into the lower gears on the stick, 2, 4, and reverse. It is like if I could pull the stick down just a little more it would go into gear every time.
would anyone happen to know if this kit would fit a 2006 Japan built Camry? Can't find any confirmation
Hi Great video. My avensis d4d 116cv has the same gearbox. Do you have Abu problem with 5th gear ?
Hi, thanks for the comment. I had to do a quick google search to learn about the Avensis. Europe gets a lot of interesting vehicle options, lots of manuals and small diesels. And wagons, how I would love a manual Toyota wagon.
Anyways, back to your question, I have not have any problems with any gears. The transmission was rebuilt at 150k miles (long before I got the car), so it only has about 85k miles on it now.
Thx.
What is the name of that bushing splitter tool and where can I get one? The bushing on mine is stuck and I can’t get it to budge so I’m just letting it soak with some on blaster while I research videos
The one I got specifically is from O’Reilly, just their basic $10-15 nut splitter, but any local parts stores should have one of equal quality. I did take it apart and grease the screw in hopes to make it last longer. Thanks for the comment, and good luck finishing the replacement!
Are you in the midwest? Wondering how difficult it will be to get those bushings out on a southwest lived car.
Yeah Iowa, although this car spent some of its life on the coasts before I got it (so it could be even worse lol).
I’d imagine it would be a lot better in the south, could also try some lube and let it soak first.
Only one cotter pin to take off each bushing, the top one is pretty easy to get to also. See how it goes, if it comes right off great, if not then you can decide if it’s worth it to you.
Just pushed the shifter on a gear box while replacing the a clush plate. Now how do I ensure the gears on gear box are no neutral? Toyota Tazz
Thanks for the comment, but I don’t understand. Just push it back however it was before. Both shift levers in their center position is neutral.
@@BrenoAutoGarage just had a mechanic clean my carburetor now my Toyota Tazz 1.3 2E has no strength at all, this engine is with little power especially on a incline it cuts off then I restart from the bottom with full power
Hey bro my Corolla 04 I can’t get 5 speed and reverse , my gears are crazy I don’t know how to fix them I only can use 1,2,3,4
Can you shift into R & 5, or are they blocked? I would record with my phone while shifting inside, and see if it moves like in my video.
If it all moves correctly something is wrong inside. Possibly synchros? I’m not a transmission expert.
If not maybe there is an easy fix, stuck cable or worn loose bushings either at the tranny or under the shifter inside car.
Hello, awesome video. How are these holding up so far? My car won’t go to 2 4 or R so I’m going to be checking the shift linkage cable soon. I’m going to replace the bushings while I’m at it and I see you provided the link in the description. Do you still recommend these? Thank you for posting
The Torque Solution plastic ones I used have been great, no issues, although I’ve only put ~1k miles on since. After I bought them I saw MWR has a brass version too, so I put links to both so people could see both options. I’m happy with the ones I got and knowing they can never corrode again, but will update the video description/comments if they have issues in the future.
Bottom line, either way you go it’s a great upgrade, good luck with your repairs!
I’m trying to take mine off at the moment. The one facing up will not come off 🤬. I’ve watched people just pull the pin and it pops right off. Always my luck
Any chance you are up north like me? Southerners without corrosion have it better than they know.
Buen video ¿Dónde compraste el kit ???
Check the video description, I have links to the bushings there.

Ha! Re-visiting this video, today I installed the same bushing on my 04 Corolla and it is beautiful, BUT...since I just dropped the engine from top and as I secured it to the frame now I got a new challenge which is the shifter cable bracket that attaches to the transmission with 3 bolts; those got torque specs for it but I can not reach from top or underneath to bolt the bracket back into the transmission! I am hoping that there is a way to get my hand on that space with the torque wrench but I just keep being amaze hot stupid Toyota engineers are that made that bracket mount with the bolts facing the inside of the engine compartment rather than the other side...WHY???? oh why??????? LOL. Tomorrow with day light I will climb on top of the car and see if I can reach from the very top between the firewall and the engine, may have to disconnect all the coolant hoses of that section again to get to it I am thinking; it is one challenge after another! and I just hope that it does not involve dropping the engine down to clear the firewall tight space because it is all already torque to specs and exhaust attached as well, after that next challenge I think it will be to connect the power steering high pressure hose to the power steering pump, the one coming from the rack pinion! these kind of "how do I do this?" are nowhere to be found in the manual or you tube; we have to get creative or simple stumble into the solution by fighting with it, the steering hose has torque spec but how the hell can be torque if there is not space to do it with the power steering pump installed as it is right now and I would not like to get the power steering out again which involves dropping the engine down removing the crossmember bar and all four engine mounts not to say the belt as well which is all installed; since I have zero experience as a mechanic I am finding that I do things in a way I figure it will work only to find out I have to backtrack and undo something to re do it again all because the lack of information and know how!!...man, the closer I am to finish I am getting desperate to finish it already! LOL
It seems modern cars are made with the simplest design for assembly at the factory and lowest cost, with less though to how things will be repaired after the car is put together. I have never worked on an old vintage car, but I imagine before computer design and robotic assembly things had to be designed in a more human-centric way.
Kind of like those videos you see where you use CAD to optimize a part, it will do a stress simulation and remove material from the low stress areas, you end up with a very organic looking part. Sure you can make that curvy part on a CNC, but try and have a machinist make it on a manual mill and they will not be happy lol.
I also like to use torque specs as much as possible. For things like hoses maybe try a set of crowfoot wrenches (or better yet flair crowfoot, if you think they’ll fit).
Part number and supplier information?
I have links in the video description for both the one I used and a brass option, check out those links.
WOW WHATS WITH THE EAR MUFF HAT YOU LOOK SHAGGY BUT INFORMATIVE NONE THE LESS BUT SHOW US HOW TO GET OUT THE WHOLE CABLE
