99 tacoma hard to shift

hi there have a 99 tacoma 2.4l has 444700 miles just replaced clutch master and slave cylinders was trying to fix the hard shifting do that's why I replaced the Master and slave cylinder but still the same. any ideas? gonna sell the truck as I upgraded to a 23 tacoma but need to fix my 99 so I can sell any help or ideas greatly appreciated thanks

 

Clutch, trans, shifter bushings?
How’s your fluid look? Any glitter?

 

If there’s no debris in the gear oil and it’s not super old, change the shift lever bushings if you haven’t already.

 

fluid good have shift bushings on order thanks for replying

 

All gears or just first? I would suspect the clutch in any case.

 

Clutch going out will cause slipping more than hard shifting. Destroyed bushings have a big impact on ability to shift gears and are cheap / easy to inspect and replace.

 

I would start with the shifter pivot cup bushing and the shifter shift bushing.

 

A failing pressure plate can cause hard shifting, it begins to loose capability to fully disengage, so shifting is difficult.
I had a 3rd Gen 4Runner where this occured, fixed everything easy first, hydraulics, shift bushing, even the pedal assy spring/bushings.
Once the clutch was out we could see the issue, clutch disc still had some life in it, PP was dead....(all orig Toyota parts)
