Another new name

Just joing in from SW Lousiana.

having some problems with the taco and looking for some help.
Hopefully I'll stick around and learn something.

 

Welcome to TW. There are a lot of knowledgeable people here to help you out. What's your problem?

 

replacing the shifter bushing in a -01 tacoma... I tried to post, but after i tried a few times I realized I need a mod to allow it.



I cant get the cap off the shifter cap (spring loaded thing) and was wondering if there was some trick or tip to use, because this thing is not budging.. I cant even get it to compress to spin it

 

Welcome

 

Sorry can't help ya there. Have you tried posting in the 1st Gen section.

 

yes, but I have to wait until a mod approves the post.
I was hoping to get something accomplished tonight, but doesn't look like its going to happen.

 

Welcome to TW

 

Thanks 98.

I figured out what I had to do, I just can't do it.
that picture makes it look like you just push and turn like a medicine bottle.

I think I almost broke my thumb pushing down on that thing and it didnt budge.

I tried a wooden stick, a socket, LOTS or harsh language. and nadda.

I just cant get that thing to budge, and it kind of sickens me that I'll have to take it to a dealer to pop off some stupid cap that Toyota has made for 20+ years, and has had problems with for 20+ years, and there are still some asinine way to get this thing off.

just venting... sorry.

 

I cant even get the thing to move down a millimeter, let alone get to the step where I am supposed to turn it.

BTW why does everyone have the same avatar?
