What is this?

[dparnas]

I noticed an empty space above the gear shift level. What the heck is this and where can I find the part to replace whatever is missing?

On my 92 it's the shift bypass. Allows you to put the truck in gear without the key.

NLA. You could try salvage yards.

This would be a good candidate for 3d printing, actually.

Thanks for the replies. Kind of weird that it was no longer used, so they just capped it. I considered that it probably wasn't always like that, so I looked around on the floor of the car, under the mats and found the plastic cap that goes there. I guess we should protect that thing if it is no longer something you can even buy anymore.

The button is still there, under the cap. It comes in handy sometimes. IMO the cap is a nuisance.

Too bad it's too small for a logo, or @NLXTACY would be all over this.

WAIT- isn't there a huge demand for a mount for those car stereo hands-free wired remote-mounted phone mics?

Some of us had to buy whole shifters overnight from Japan for this part. Now every tom, dick, and harry will have one.

So will these allow the later years (like say 1997) to have the shift lock override too? It would be handy when removing the trim around the stereo and other interior work. Hate having to turn the key one to get the shifter out of the way.

I need this. I think. Wait do I? Yes I think I do. Maybe. Definitely.

Your 97 already has that. You just may have lost the plug as well. Use an ink pen to shove in there to unlock.

In black with the Lexus "L" logo please.

Any idea when shift lock shenanigans might be on the site?

Want.
