Toyota Tacoma Shifter Stuck? Here's a quick and easy fix for your sticky shifter. MCG #10

[@HavenCraftHomes]

People complain about how "dark" the internet can be, but equally there are folks like you who post videos and provide so much help to strangers. You solved my problem, in minutes, free of charge. Thank you for taking the time to be kind and share your knowledge!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you, Patrick, for your kind words. I’m glad it helped! Happy new year! -Ed

[@anthonypadlo3509]

You saved me from a massive panic attack about an hour before I was supposed to be on a job site. I can't thank you enough for this video!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nice! Glad it worked for you!

[@LongFlowAdventures]

The shifter in my 2015 Taco was also getting stiff. I found your video, paused half way through to go out and WD40 followed by white lithium grease the linkage on mine, and viola, it's fixed. Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to film and post this! And by the way I made similar groaning noises while crawling under mine lol . Another tip is I've soaked in between the leaf springs with white lithium grease to stop squeaks in the back and it's great for that too.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thanks so much! You’ll have to re-lubricate periodically. Last time I used wd40 gel which is working well.

[@carterlucyk1971]

From Northern Ontario, it worked and saved me changing the shift cable. More importantly it saved the embarrassment from chasing a runaway vehicle and more importantly hurting someone. Thank you so very much.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome. I just returned from Ontario. We went to Niagara On The Lake to watch the eclipse. Beautiful!

[@junglee1236]

Thank you, thank you. I followed your video instruction, and now my shifter is working and smooth. The stiffness happened to my 2014 4Runner and didn't know what to do. I was just about take it to a dealer but after I saw your video, I did just like you showed, and my shifter is working like a new, no more problem. Thank you for your help.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Glad it worked! You may have to re-lube every few months.

Thank you 2k to 7k much. Called the mechanic,&that was the answer, considering code p0705 showed up,& trac on,& check engine light was on as well .Watched your video,& now works as good as new. I used Seafoam, cause that’s what I had. Thanks again .

My 2018 Tacoma was doing the same stuff. This video is gold! Thanks for making it. I used a little penetrating oil and then slathered on some Red n Tacky. I thought I'd have to get a new transmission!

Nice! Good idea sealing it with grease. I still have to spray mine every 6 months or so. Thanks for watching.

[@sandrag5048]

You saved me an expensive trip to the dealer. My 4Runner was having issues and wouldn’t display the drive mode on the dash. When I’d shift, It felt very loose. Spraying this mechanical piece with WD and white lithium spray worked like a charm!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Great!

[@vacone1]

Excellent, My 05 did the same.The rod you are lubricating goes thru the transmission to neutral/park safety switch. Lube this end too. Spray behind plastic switch housing and trans case. 250000 miles still butter smooth shifting. Just traded fo 2020 4 Runner. Love It

David is it possible to access the other area you are referring to from under the truck? Or do you need to remove things on the i side to get to it?

[@vacone1]

@@benopie7772 Ben, no the neutral safety switch is in the way. I aimed the oil can above the shaft and let dribble down the trans case. Worked good immediately caused the shifter to work easily. I did this twice a year. I lived in Virginia Beach and constantly driving in brackish water.

[@vacone1]

[@jd3224]

Seriously, thank you! Had the engine light come in and got a code from auto store about replacing transmission switch…. 5 mins and WD40 it works great! Thank you!!!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Excellent! You are welcome. If your truck is like mine, you’ll have to climb under there every couple months and re-spray it.

[@stevonh]

Mine was so bad it was setting a PO705 trouble code. Oiling the cable connector only helped for a while. I decided to disconnect the cable from the shifter arm on the transmission. The threaded connector on the end of the shifter cable that you were oiling wasn't able to spin freely on mine. I worked it loose and forced some grease into it and it's all better. 2017 Tacoma.

[@theloneviking9145]

Same thing on my 2017 Tacoma today …PO 705 TRC light on , engine light on, sprayed this , disconnected battery negative terminal, put back..Everything’s fine now.

[@BigPapa-o9x]

I have done this very thing a number of times but it kept returning no matter what stuff I used. About 6 months ago I decided to try something a little more permanent and it seems to be working so well I decided to add a comment here. The spray lube fix works good and fast but trying my modification could be more permanent. It took me about 20 minutes to complete the fix. I removed the nut hold the shifter cable to the lever underneath the truck...it takes a 13mm wrench. Once removed, use a wire brush to remove the rust and corrosion buildup on both sides of the lever, from the nit, and from the shifter level connector. Then put a good coating of lithium grease on both sides of the connector, the steel lever, and the nut. Then reassemble (making sure the connector screw fits all the way through the square hole on the lever) and tighten. It's been 6 months so far without any sticking.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

[@floridagould]

Huge thanks! This has been plaguing me for months on my 06 4Runner. It was so bad I was getting CELs for the gear sensor. Kept trying to lube the linkage under the shifter. Tried this and it fixed it!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Awesome! I haven’t found the best long lasting lubricant yet, so I still have to go under every few months. Thanks for your comment. -Ed@MCG

[@floridagould]

@@MyClutteredGarage Well, that only takes a minutes and is best of all free. 4 minutes a year is a small price to pay to keep it shifting smoothly.

[@benopie7772]

How hard would it be to replace the nuts and bolts down there

[@MyClutteredGarage]

@@benopie7772 Not sure, but I suppose changing the linkage joint is an option. I used WD40 Gel spray last time and it's holding up well!

[@jour-crazy]

A quick and easy fix that worked instantly. Thanks a ton for the video!

[@rubecork7102]

If the problem gets seriously sticky, the car may not start at all if the system doesn't recognize it being in park. The light for P should show on the dashboard when it is in Park. Mine suddenly didn't and I couldn't start my 2013 Tacoma. My truck threw the error code P0705 "Transmission Range Sensor A.Circuit (PRNDL Input)". Dousing it with WD-40 after watching your video solved the problem completely! Probably saved me hundreds of dollars and a tow to the shop. (I understand that for this application, silicone lubricant is best because it is safe for plastic and rubber).

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Glad it helped! I still have to spray mine every few months or it starts to stick again. Thanks for the feedback! -Ed

[@sjoyce1324]

You just saved me a whole headache, you are a life saver!!! Thanks so much!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Thank you and good luck!

[@yertelt5570]

Wish I saw this a few days ago. My shifter moves very freely now, it just doesn't do anything when it moves. Hopefully I just broke the shoulder bolt holding the linkage together. 🤞

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Darn. Good luck! This appears to be a major design flaw from Toyota.

[@grebelk]

I guess I should be happy that it took so long for this issue to hit my 2005 Tacoma. But hopping into my truck to make a run to pick up a 25 yr. old "squatter" at the airport I could just barely manipulate the shift level. Drove for the next 1 hour too nervous to take my truck out of drive. After watching to the 2-minute mark I ran out, grabbed a can of WD40, and slithered under my truck. I easily found the linkage (identical to the one in the video), sprayed it and my issue was solved. (It's never this easy), Thanks!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Excellent! I still have to spray mine every few months.

[@grebelk]

@@MyClutteredGarage Thank you, good to know. I'll still need to crawl back under with a more hardy lubricant for a longer-term solution.

Same with my Land Cruiser 4.0 V6 Prado exactly the same problem. Thanks for the video👌

[@ms.sojourner5495]

Thought I was going to break the shifter on my 2017 Taco. This worked perfectly! However, is replacing that part the only permanent solution? I'm almost 70, so getting down and up from the ground is not so easy anymore.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Mine required re-spraying every few months. I’d say you have to replace the connector. It’s really unfortunate how many of these trucks have the issue!

[@MyClutteredGarage]

[@kore996]

⚠️ does this apply to 2016 4Runner also? I’m also getting a P0705 code and my shifter is very stiff. It started intermittently last winter and then went away all summer but now it’s back and won’t go back to normal. When I shift it in to Drive it’s stiff and doesn’t register the “D” on the dash. It registers park, Reverse and Neutral but not Drive and it also no longer registers tiptronic sports mode. Because it’s stiff do you think it’s the actual shifter and probably not the PRNDL sensor?

[@MyClutteredGarage]

I’d crawl under there and check. I think there’s a good chance it’s the same.

[@arcflash29]

I have the exact same problem with my 2016 Tacoma. same exact symptoms! only happens in winter... this year it's bad. but did you end up finding a fix?

[@kore996]

@@arcflash29 It was happening for a few days and not going away like it did last year and I was going to look at it when my wife got back home with the truck BUT then it fixed itself 🙄. I guess I’m happy that it’s no longer a problem…for now! I sprayed some grease on the linkage under the truck in hopes that it would help. I guess time will tell to see if it’s the linkage or that other part that I can remember the name right now 😂.

Hey, thanks for posting this, it was very helpful. My 2013 4Runner has had a sticky shifter the last few times. I drove it, to the point that it wasn't registering on the dash that it was in drive, I had to put it over into manual mode to get it to register. This seems to have done the trick.

Gary Gray it’s possible that the cable broke. I haven’t taken the box off the shifter but I bet it’s not a bad job to do.

[@garygray2973]

@@MyClutteredGarage I took the top off of the shifter box and found that the cable has an eye on the end of it that slips over a pin on the shifter handle. This eye keeps slipping off.
