need help with short shifter

hey guys not to sound like a total idiot but i need help installing my short shifter i just bought for my 96

if anyone has step by step instrotions that they can post or send me that would be great

thanks
chris

remove rear center console, kick panels, glove compartment, panel under steering column, radio/AC switch trim, cupholder/storage box so you can finally remove the center console to get to the shifter assembly.. unclip cables and unbolt the shifter assembly.. installation is reverse of removal.

damn i feel sorry for ya, thats a lot of work to find out something dosen't fit.

thanks after doing all that work i found out that the short shifter i got off ebay does not fit the ball joints are to big

What kind did you get? Was it specifically for 7th gen? I heard that the shifters for the Celica fits the 8th gen, but don't know about the 7th.

it was a cheep one i bought off ebay that the guy said was for my car which after taking apart my car i soon learned that it didnt fit

thanks

yeah after talking to alot of racing shops no one makes a short shifter for the 7th gens which really sucks

and to add on to that today i found out that my exhaust manifold was cracked we will see how that ebay buy will treat me haha

i think its discontinued, i got mines for 80 used.. you might be able to find someone else parting it out. Alternatively you can use the TWM 98-02 shifter

just get any stainless steel header off ebay, not too many people have had problems with them.

What year is your car exactly. To my knowledge 93-95 and 96-97 are different. The 93-95 has a metal base while the 96-97 has a plastic base. The 96-97 years share the same assembly as the 98-02.. I have a 96 and I am using a TRD short shifter from a 8th gen.

yeah i did it should be in the mail


i have a 96 dx with the 1.8

yeah mine is the plastic base really how much do thoughs run in price

well that sucks

yeah i guess i could i will keep my eye open
