So i am having a constant struggle with my shifter sticking and looking for a little help. The shifter is sticking in gear beacuse the plate (the one with the arrow next to it) has deformed and has bent outward. Since the opening has gotten wider the rounded washer under that plate is now sticking or popping up enough to make gear changes difficult. I've contacted toyota and you must purchase the entire shifter assembly in order to receive that part. So instead of spending 300.00 on that, I'm trying to figure what other r154 users are doing to fix this. I've tried reshaping the plate but I cant seem to get the shape right.
