Corolla XRS Shifter Cable Bushing Install!

[@BrandonStellmach]

These are a must! Makes the shifts feel so much more precise! I love mine on my corolla!

[@WillChang]

For sure! Shifter feels amazing now that these are installed!

[@jacobasencio1832]

I just found your account and a couple months ago my grandmas dying wish was to give me her car, it’s a 2008 Corolla LE and your videos have helped so much in working on my car and turning it into my dream Rolla, your a blessing bro thanks

[@WillChang]

Really appreciate the kind words! I'm glad my content's helping!

[@datboi4479]

Good video. Same thing happened on my 09 Pontiac Vibe. The bottom one was seized on and had to be fully dremeled off, but the top one was hand loose, exactly like your's. Shifts feel so clicky after. Great fix/modification if you are patient enough for it

[@2010afroro]

Great video! Can't wait for your future uploads!

[@WillChang]

Thank you! More videos to come!

[@ericmarasigan9458]

Do you have the same problem in your reverse before installing the new shifter bushings? When changing to reverse i heard some grindings from the trans. But when I go to 1st gear first then change to reverse it is smooth and no grinding noise.

[@thor294]

I went with the Frankenstein Motorsports ones instead. Thrse solid bushings cause the cable to bind up!

[@joetuotoiv7486]

About to do a manual swap on my Corolla have all the parts to do it guess I'm going to order these bushings and throw them in while the trannys out of the car thanks Will your my hero keep doing what you're doing bro

[@WillChang]

Glad my videos can help! Best wishes for the manual swap, hoping to manual swap my LE soon enough!

[@jamesclifford2830]

what exhaust are you running ? the induction + exhaust sounds way better than my 2zz

[@JustAGuyYaKnow42]

Are there any trims on the shifter cables? All of the "down" gears on my Celica's stick are hard to get into, 2/4/R.

[@lomfmur]

I did these with my clutch, never felt any different, barely used grease to get em in so I doubt that affected it. Oh well, gonna do the base ones soon

[@shane_c4158]

Definitely the best channel for 2zz content👍 Do u plan on getting the 4-2-1 Manifold from R9K?

[@WillChang]

Very much appreciated! I am definitely planning on getting a header from R9K, along with a midpipe and muffler to complete the exhaust. Not sure exactly when I plan on ordering or installing all of this especially since it does take a few weeks to build and ship, but for sure on the to-do list!

[@shane_c4158]

@@WillChang Nice👍 I've heard good things about the headers definitely worth it

[@Yeysitoo]

No fkn way I just got mines too! I was looking for this video! Thank you 🙏

[@WillChang]

That's awesome, hope your install goes well!

[@westcoast6860]

I’m back on your KZbin channel bro I’ve been away for a minute but I’m back you did a really good job on your Toyota Corolla XRX keep up the good work bro thumbs up on your video

[@WillChang]

Glad to have you back! Thanks for your continued support!

[@jalaalcheema4823]

Will this exact kit work with a JDM RunX 2zz?

[@omarawilson2853]

Where did you get that shift knob

[@alfaqs1d3wayz]

Bro, love it! Lola might need those done too!!

[@WillChang]

Definitely worth it, these fit the 10th gens as well!

[@-caleb-7201]

Hey I’ve been binging all your Corolla videos! I’m commenting because this is your newest video hopefully you’ll see this. I’m just wondering what kind of gauge cluster that is that I see in your videos. It’s so clean, I can’t find any like it online I try searching everything. Thanks!!

[@WillChang]

Really appreciate the support! It's the factory optitron cluster which was offered for 2005+ LE and XRS trims. I don't have any experience with the standard gauge, but it looks like a forum member made a write-up about the swap here: www.toyotanation.com/threads/diy-2003-2008-corolla-gauge-cluster-swap-w-pics.775010/

[@-caleb-7201]

@@WillChang thank you so much man!

[@WillChang]

Glad to help!

[@anthonyaguallo1220]

Hey will I experimented with my new xrs original shift knob and found it was pretty easy to re do it, mine has black velvet where the Chrome was and I used a rustic red bandanna for the pattern for the replacement to the leather, if you’d like to try it or maybe I could do it for you mine feels great love the feeling of it

[@WillChang]

That's awesome! I'd love to try some red stitching sometime, I think it would look pretty nice and make a cool video too!

[@anthonyaguallo1220]

@@WillChang I’d love to see your hand at it, a good tip is use fabric adhesive, gorilla glue makes a really good one. Also dont over apply it’ll seep through the fabrics, and remember to pull and stretch where you can to make it have a good fit. excited to see the video!

[@yujimoua2955]

Awesome man I just ordered some ! What camera do you you for the driving ?

[@WillChang]

Very cool! I use a Gopro hero 9 for my POV drives

[@SeanDurkinn]

I put these in a while ago, and it still felt pretty wiggly along with the mwr sts kinda bummed

[@WillChang]

Mine is also a bit wiggly, the plastic housing is a bit worn out. I have a much tighter feeling one I bought in the junkyard a couple years ago which I plan on dropping in to see if that reduces the play in the shifter

[@SeanDurkinn]

@@WillChang is it the little plastic ring collar thing you had to pry off to install the short throw? That was my suspicion for it being loose also

[@WillChang]

Yep that's the one. It's worn enough to where I can see the gap, I could probably stick a small screwdriver between the collar and the main body of the shifter

[@Audfile]

So you have an automatic XRS? That must be the rarest of them all!

[@ernestogarcia8014]

My shifter is so wobbly and I’m trying to fix it 😭

[@jaredhernandez2313]

what else are you planning to do to the XRS?

[@WillChang]

Next mods coming up are oil pan, lowering springs, and radiator. In the future, I'm looking to install a full exhaust, 3in intake, ported tb, and ecu reflash for all of those mods, but if I'm lucky enough to get my hands on a supercharger then that's the route I'll take!

[@jaredhernandez2313]

@@WillChangA supercharger definitely sounds nice

[@mariosanchez70]

Yo will im about to buy an xrs can u do a buyers beware vid talking about stuff to watch for before buying an xrs

[@WillChang]

Sure, I’ll make that video happen this week!

[@JerroldM]

ES motor mount inserts next!

[@WillChang]

They'll be installed soon!

[@JerroldM]

@@WillChang man I want these but shipping is $40!!! 😭😭😭

[@shaham712]

Looks like they were worth it.

For sure, shifter is much better! Definitely recommend!

No, you should not play league of legends.
