Shift lever broke while driving

They offer anything interesting?

 

Yep, happened to me on my '06, 6 speed V-6.

 

Broken shift levers as difficult as it may seem for some to believe do happen. I saw my share on our fleet when our heavy duty equipment was mostly manual back in the day. But now not so much. It must be this thing called leverage, for those engineer folks who can't grasp how such a thing could possibly happen lol!

Cheers!

 

I was signaling the crane one day and wasn't looking at the operator and kept signaling and then I looked his way and he was standing on the deck holding one of his levers that broke off .

 

Agree - That bluing, multi faceted grinding, edge tearing only - that is most clearly two sections of round bar, poorly surface welded together it seems.

This is what a classic fatigue failure facture surface in round bar looks like.

 

Yesm!

I do VT, MT, PT for the company and am working towards my CWI now and possibly my composites cert.

 

That's cool stuff! Thanks for sharing

 

Too bad I didn't see this earlier, I have one of those shifter assemblies laying in my toolbox, maybe I should bring it around as a spare

 

Save your receipts and contact Toyota corporate and request reimbursement. This was a faulty part from manufacturing, a portentously safety hazard, and you can send pictures.

 

If that shifter has an actual linkage, he is a Grand Master of clutch work and rev matching. All MT owners should bask in his greatness.

 

My 2017 5 speed also had to gets its speedo swapped because it was sticking. Dealer didnt believe me and it was a 6 month battle. Wouldnt even believe a video I got of it

 

They need to replicate it. .OP have a local machine shop or welder tig weld that for time being. Wait in parts F toyota they'll blame abuse and wiggle out of this.
