On the problem of 5th gear pop out, there are two sources of problems that can effect the "pop-out" issue. It doesn't matter if it is 5th gear or 2nd and it doesn't matter if it is a Toyota transaxle or a Renault. Gear pop-out is related to movement in the transmission.
This movement can either be external or internal. External issues can be linkage problems or mounting problems. Linkage problems are easy to diagnose and can typically be duplicated. This is a little more difficult to find. There is a rubber seal underneath it. Remove this as well. The new seat comes with a new seal anyway.
Be careful not to get any crumbled bits of seat into the transmission. Probably not the end of the world if you do since they are generally soft. I used a vacuum to remove the bits. Comparing the old seat to the new shows just how much wear the old seat has.
Installing is pretty much as simple as it gets. Just install the new seat and seal- seal first into the shifter socket. No special tools required. Next install the new shifter cap by popping off the old, pressing on the new. Apply a thin layer of general purpose grease on all components. Now reverse the disassembly instructions and wallah- all done.
Happy to say that the truck now shifts and drives better than it did even when new. Question 23 days ago on Step 4. Great fix. My '97 tacoma took part and ordering from North Park Toyota online I was able to get assurance it was for my vehicle by entering its VIN. I got the nylon bushing as well but the old was not broken so I didn't install, it was part for reference.
I gave a little extra push down and twist with my thumbs at the same time. Not a lot of space to work but hey we managed. I sprayed lubricant before as well around inside to break things up also.
Getting the cap back on I was able to press down and twist with just my thumbs. Good luck. Thank you! My truck kept slipping out of gear and this fixed it.
Time approx 30 minutes. Thank you thank you thank you. I did this on my '94 Hilux 22r. As you can see below the old bushing was actually reduced to crumbs. It is amazing the car shifted at all. God bless Toyotas. Still work even when they're broke! It feels like I installed a brand new transmission.
I'd add one thing - there was no need to replace the cap. My old one was just fine. So best to leave the old one on unless it appears to be damaged, in my opinion. Absolutely check with dealer for part number against vehicle vin number. Tried a universal kit and the bushing what you're calling a cap was big enough to cause a headache.
Went to the dealer and perfect fit first try. I have a manual but enjoyed your pictures for additional reference.
Ok so please help. My 94 toyota pickup pops out of 1st.. Ive gone through 2 now. One of them i had to sand down just a Bit to get the cao to slide down in place so i can put the spring and all back on to use it So i havent really once got a new unsanded cap to slide in place in the hole once it was on the end of my shifter. It just wont slide down around the two notched out pin slots on each side.. Everything in your description was great and as easy as you said The thing I am having issues with is the shifter cap, the old one did not just 'pop off' and the new one definitely isn't 'popping in' Any tips?
It seems like the new one I got is too small, but it came in the pack with the seal from Rock Auto so not sure what to think. Although this article is very in formative, I am going to have to disagree with one point.
That point is this: The spring loaded shifter cap serves only one purpose and that purpose is to hold the shifter in the socket. This prevents the shifter from coming out of the socket. Each gear has a synchronizer. This in itself is what "allows" and "holds" the gear into placement, not the spring loaded cap.
I bought a '94 Toyota pickup Friday of last week. Over time, transmission mounts can become worn. This makes the entire transmission vibrate as the car moves over bumps and uneven surfaces, which can disconnect the engine from the transmission, thus putting you out of gear. The way to fix this is to replace the mounting.
The linkage rods themselves can also start to come loose over time. These are the rods that connect the gear shifter to the transmission.
