Gear shift lever button broke

[joecuba]

The big button on the top of my gear shift leaver broke. Or rather, the bottom of the shaft that is part of the button sheared off. Was ok for a while as it still worked, but today the broken part inside the lever came out of it's proper channel and so it stopped working.

Obviously without this, the truck can't get into anything but D, N, and 2, and you can't get the keys out.

I managed to take it all to bits and bodged it with good il' GAFFA TAPE (every truck needs this stuff).

So, now I have the button at home and it is recuperating after some superglue surgery. Diagnosis is hopeful, but long term, I feel it is a weak spot.

I don't suppose anyone make a nice machined aluminium version? Or Toyota made an updated better version?

I have got a complete gear shift assembly here if you need it

Thanks stormforce, I think I have it fixed now (pinned + epoxy).

You don't have a 3rd gen digi clock do you?

[stormforce]

sorry not got any 3rd gen parts but i am on the look out for one as a breaker tho
i do have a couple of 2nd gen digi clocks tho

Unless the 2nd gen clock fits 3rd gen, I'll give it a miss

You are welcome to let me know as soon as you get a 3rd gen in, there is probably a bunch of things I would want to get from it - all cosmetic / non-engine stuff, so easy to unscrew and post to me :-)
