4_Runner w/ loose shifter (1 Viewer)

[Texasknowhow]

Guys, my daughter has our 99 4-Runner at college and was home recently for Christmas. I drove the vehicle after some normal maintenance and noticed the shifter lever was loose (front to back) when in any position. i.e. - in D you can move the indicator on the left of the shift all the way to N without really shifting anything.

I've owned 3 4Runners and a Taco of this generation... never had the shifter leaver get loose like this. Any ideas before I tear into it?

All still works as it should the lever is just loose front to back - I would say a good 1/2" of movement at the indicator vs. locked in and tight when in any gear as it should.

Talking about an automatic trans of course.

Thanks in advance for any help guys, Clay

Replace the 4 bushings, pretty cheap from Toyota
