hey, would this be the same for a 92 pickup

Would this be the same for an '02? I bought one and my first thought was, "wow there is so much play in this". I can basically do circles round and round in neutral, and yeah navigating to the right gear the first few times was awkward. Thanks for posting! I am hoping this will stiffen it up a little.

Great video. We got the MarlinCrawler.com white seat and shifter bushing and my son is putting it on his 1998 Tacoma now. Already did the 1st gen 4Runner. I think it took less than 30 minutes. Thank you.

I’m having trouble pushing and turning the lever assembly out of the casing to get to the inner bushing. Is there a trick to this? It looks so simple in your video.
It is stuck when i apply pressure downward to turn and release. I’m unable to turn it counter-clockwise.
Thanks!

Jacob Hendrickson says:

I just pull it out from the top by pushing down and turning the holder instead of removing the 4 bolts which is just extra work.

Moses Dane says:

two bushings were replaced here? the upper ring and the lower as well?

Larry Schad says:

I saw other videos about this and their bushings were shot. I took mine apart and they looked pretty good and noticed yours looked pretty good as well but the gf says it's a big difference? So I might go ahead and change them and see. I have a next gen Tacoma and a little easier than your 4 runner. 2002/240K on it.
