Loose Auto gear shift lever..

[2010mhawk]

Hi Friends,

It is nice to see a forum full of toyota 4x4 enthusiasts. I own a 90 series prado 3.4 v6 in Abudhabi. I am making the post in 4runner forum too since the 90 series and 4runners share the same transfer case. Recently it developed an issue with auto gear lever. The lever is really loose, I mean when shifting from P to N to R to D, the lever just runs around, it is loose. It shift correctly though. Do you think this is due to worn out shifter bushings? Can someone throw some light on this? Any idea how to repair this?
Awaiting replies from prado 90 series forum too.

Regards,
George

George,
I replaced my shifter bushings a few years ago. The shift lever had become very loose & sloppy. The new bushings completely solved that:

Thanks Andreas, for your prompt reply. Good description indeed with pictures. Do you know which site I can checkout for the bushings?

Thanks.
