  • In this video I'll explain how to install an LCE Short Shifter. The process here is for W56 transmissions, but is similar for other models. LCE provides specific instructions with each kit so use those first and use this as additional help.

    I have a little library of your videos. You have helped an old man understand a lot. I have the exact same Toyota . W56 Transmission and all.

    It's a trade off. It is nice to be able to engage 5th gear without reaching into the glovebox, but the shifts are noticeable stiffer. I can't say I dislike it, but I can say I don't like it enough to warrant the cost. So if I could do it again I wouldn't buy it. But now that I have it, I won't be removing it.

    It threw a rod and busted up one of the cylinder walls and a bit of the internal structure of the crankcase. The other rod was about to seize and snap too upon close inspection. Both cylinders had severe scoring and both pistons were very badly damaged. I'd guess that it was run low on oil or never had the oil changed. Perhaps both.

    I picked up a used R150f transmission for my 1995 4Runner. Before I mounted it up I put the shifters in it to make sure everything shifts smoothly. The transmission works fine but I can't seem to get the T case to shift. It appears to be in 4 wheel because when I spin the output/input shaft the output shaft spins. Any advice?

    I think you have me sold on the short shifter kit. As soon as the projects slow down I'll pick one up. Do you like it? Thanks... Jymi

    I have taken my shifter levers off so that I could remove my transmission and noticed on the main shift lever that the top plate where the shifter pivots from has some major wear. I am wanting to replace it but I am not sure how to do it because I am not sure how to separate the black upper rubber part of the lever from the lower half, could you tell me how you would do that? Thanks

    wait - you were able to remove the 6 bolts holding the plate to the transmission...but then you had to cut the body metal back to install the same 6 bolts? cutting the body just feels.....i don't know.....wrong. right? doesn't it? i've got to do this work soon so i'll find a way to not cut the body. thank you so much for taking the time to make all of these videos!

    • @TheAlexManVideos

      The spacer brings everything up and closer to the body reducing clearance while at the same time requiring longer bolts. I've since removed this and returned the shifter back to stock for better feel and easier shifts.

    I did take some footage of that but to be honest it was a long time ago and I might not have it anymore. I can tell you that it was totally ruined and in no way repairable.

    Hi Alex, Changing out the shifter Bushings on my 86 Toyota pickup, I went to check the 4 wheel drive shifter it too was was all mangle and needed to be replaced however there is nothing I can find as to what size and where you can get them, to the best of your Knowledge are they the same bushing as you use on the Transmission shifter ?

    • @TheAlexManVideos
      @TheAlexManVideos  5 лет назад +1

      The RF-1 transfer case doesn't have a bushing under the shifter like the W56B transmission does.

    • @TheAlexManVideos
      @TheAlexManVideos  Год назад +1

      Makes it so you don't have to move the shifter as far between gears. I thought it was a cool modification but it really isn't worth much on a slow old truck. Sort of debatable on sports cars too. I ultimately reverted to stock, took this off, and sold it.
