I am in the situation where i'm trying to get my supra started from the rebuild. It's been so long since i disconnected everything and my memory isn't there lol. I'm where most of the harness is hooked up and the car has power, I'm currently trying to get my shifter lever hooked up to the tranny. I hooked it up twice and when I went to change gears the lever doesn't move (note: theres not battery in the car just turned the key). What am I doing wrong?
Hooking up Auto tranny to shifting lever (trying to get supra up and running)
- Thread starter SW21
- Start date
it wont move without a battery in it which means acoupla things :
there is no battery in the car and the switch is electrically operated = it wont move
you didnt connect the the connectors under the shifter = it wont move
your not stepping on the brake and with no battery=it wont move
make sure the tranny switch is ( the selector on the tranny is in the right place -park) in the righ place in relation to the lever in the car
but most importantly put a battery in the car

So i've been fighting my supra trying to hook up the shifter lever to the tranny
What are the 2 things in red circles what goes there?
I believe here I have it in park and the shifter lever on park as well and as you can see its way off? Why cant I align the shifter to the tranny?
Something is wrong and for the life of me I cant figure it out, if someone can lead me to the correct direction I'd appreciate it. I've read the repair manual and doesn't really explain anything, I googled and nothing.

It's not that it won't shift, the shifter lever that reaches to selector on the tranny goes off way to forward and the only way I've been able to connect it is if I put the tranny on L then the lever connects, and well I can't shift lower than L so the shifter doesn't move anywhere. Then I put the selector back to park then the lever on the shifter doesn't reach anymore.

The mechanism reaches if the trans is installed correctly with bellhousing bolts and mounts. Don't take this the wrong way, but most threads on here are where the car was not done correctly. Double check everything looking for something that seems irregular.
I thought it was that at first (the battery not being there) but when I redid this the battery was in and still nothing and it's because I wasn't hooking up the mechanism correctly to the trans. Thank you for the link, I'm going to recheck and see why it's not reaching properly, Appreciate it
Figured it out, its connected and almost ready to run, I updated my build thread for those who care to see.
