Just watched 3 or 4 other videos. Really just to be sure that's what will be the problem with my friends sienna. I came across yours last and I am cracking up, because you are the only one who showed doing it with the least disassembly. And the only one that explains that! Great job dear! You just put the others to shame!
Agreed I've been a full-time husband and father for 10 years now. So break fix around the house is the norm for me. Your video what is the most comprehensive and easy to follow along with!
Thank you! Been a mechanic for years,but this was my first sienna shift cable. Our mitchell system tells me I need to remove steering wheel,all the panels including those on pass side. But with all that being removed only calls for 1.7 hrs to do...decided to look it up on RUclips and found your videos first!
You're the greatest by taking the time to show and explain the only parts to take off! ❤ Thank You for creating and posting this very valuable video 🙏 😃
Well this was the most informative video for this project that I could find. After putting the dash back together 3 dang times I ended up with one left over screw 😤 I HATE that but it's 113 here today so I am just done with it. Thank you for this video
Thank you this video was very helpful in getting my shifter repaired. I was able to purchase the part from my local toyota dealer for around 2.00 likely the cheapest repair I have done.
Thank you!! Used this video to quickly take apart only the parts needed! I didn’t use the piece you have listed here but used the original part from Toyota dealership and it worked. I watched another video before yours and then watched yours. Opened everything up in 30 minutes! Thanks for this!
Genius, Kate. Thank you for posting this. Not having to mess with the glove box and the whole right side of the dashboard saved so much time and effort. Hardest part for me was popping out those plastic retainers, especially the one way back by the gas pedal.
Kate's method does make it kind of tough to get the bushing on -- there's just not as much room to maneuver the bushing into the center of the hole on the shifter cable. What worked for me was to go ahead and put the bushing onto the metal pin on the shifter and then tapping the cable end onto the bushing.
Great helpful video. I used the dorman 14797 bushing replacement. You can find it at any auto parts store. I had to put the bushing on the shifter shaft first with a little lube and snapped the cable loop on second. It went on with a little push fairly easy and seems to be working well. Hope this also helps.
Thanks so much! Same exact thing happened to me. Sienna is stuck in reverse. So happy to see your video. Waiting for a tow truck now. Will use this as a reference after I order the linkage and I have my tools.
It did seem excessive to remove passenger side, thank you for taking the time to post this. I'm going to add a small zip tie to the new part for redundant support since they are pron to failing.
Thank you so much. You saved money and time for me. These are the only panels and nails you need to take out to repair this. I ordered the same exact part from Amazon for my 2006 sienna. Thank you so much.
For anyone had the same issue .. make sure to go get the OEM part from your local dealership for $10 only and fits perfectly ... thank you Girl for this great video & explanations 👍👍👍
Excellent video. I just made this repair and it was a tremendous help. The only thing I did different was used the OEM toyota bushing. It was surprisingly cheap too - $3.99
If you're looking for a quick fix for your Toyota Sienna shifter cable bushing but no Toyota dealership near you carries the replacement bushing, but an auto parts store near you DOES carry the Dorman BUSHING REPLACEMENT PART 14797 (several near me carry this part), this comment is a brief guide detailing how it works as a replacement for the 2006 Toyota Sienna shifter cable bushing. This fix is very very beginner friendly. Takes a few hours. At my local Advance Auto Parts, this part was labeled by Dorman for a Jeep transfer case. But it does work for the 06 era Siennas as confirmed not only by me but many other people on RUclips, forums and elsewhere. Dorman bushing 14797 cost me $16 before tax from Advance auto parts. AutoZone also had it for $18. Toyota dealerships/parts shops carry the OEM bushing (part #33835-08010) for only around $3-5 but locally they didn't have it in stock we couldn't wait, the car was needed next morning, so I went to Advance and got this Dorman bushing after seeing it suggested on various websites. The whole repair process took me 2-3 hours working very slowly and carefully and watching RUclips videos (of which there are several really good ones) while completing the repair. It could take an experienced mechanic an hour or probably less, and could take a complete novice up to 4 or more hours. This is a simple replacement even for a beginner as long as you have basic tools listed below. -----DIY'ing this will potentially save you hundreds, like $5-600 at dealerships and other places that would charge you an arm and a leg for this simple fix. Local honest shop may charge less, DIY is obviously always cheapest. To go on with the rest of this guide you'll want to open two videos on youtube, one by Kate Chism and one by Usman the Mechanic. Search "Toyota sienna shifter cable replacement" into youtube and these two vids should be near the top. The rest of this guide will reference those two videos several times so for clarity you should have them ready to go. Now: Different Methods of fixing this problem: 1) COTTER PIN METHOD: use the cotter pin method shown by Usman the Mechanic which seems to be a super solid fix, may require disassembling more panels than other methods as he explained, and requires you to have a drill and cotter pin (common stuff) 2)BUSHING REPLACEMENT METHOD: Probably not as sturdy of a fix as the cotter pin method. But you can get away with only disassembling drive side panels if you're in a hurry. In both methods the repair is pretty simple, all the methods I've seen are done entirely from the interior of the car and you don't need any expensive or uncommon tools. I chose the second method, replacing the bushing, which is why my comment starts off talking about the bushings. You won't need to buy a replacement bushing if you use the cotter pin method shown in this video. TOOLS NEEDED: -- You'll need some sort of pry tool, a phillips head screwdriver, and a 10mm socket wrench to remove and reinstall door panels. -- To make the bushing install easier, you'll want needle nose pliers and some sort of lubricant to help snap the bushing into place, i just used motor oil but white lithium grease would work better. Okay, now for some brief details about the repair. Very helpful to watch the video on RUclips by Kate Chism. Her method is the exact method I used to disassemble the dash panels and access the shifter cable. There's also other methods shown on RUclips such as the one by Usman the Mechanic and other good ones. Many of them are good references and worth watching even if you go with the Kate Chism method, the method used here. As said earlier it's useful to watch the Usman video if you want to consider the cotter pin fix. Again, RUclips search "toyota sienna shifter cable replacement" and you'll find them near the top. And again, If you follow the Kate Chism method here, all of the work will be done from the drivers seat area and you won't have to remove the passenger side/ glovebox stuff like is demonstrated in Usman the Mechanic's video and others. I will not detail how to undo the lower dash panels because it's WAY better explained in the videos. So you gotta have a video or manual open unless you already know how to take apart the lower dash. As long as you have proper tools getting the panels out of the way should probably take you less than an hour. Easy peasy. Once you get the dash panels out of the way and confirm the problem (broken bushing leading to unattached shifter cable), you can begin getting the your new bushing into position. This will take some fiddling and some awkward positions but it is not too difficult using the method below. First clear out the loose panels and anything else in the way of you manipulating the shifter cable. The bushing will be VERY tight so the best way to get it into the proper position is TO PUSH THE BUSHING THROUGH THE SHIFTER CABLE FIRST. As opposed to pushing the bushing onto the rectangular gear selector shaft first. Now push the new bushing, loop-end first, into the circular opening of the shifter cable loop. Insert it loop-end first right to left, or console-side to door-side, and push it as centered and as snug as you can get it. It will probably be too difficult to push through all the way with your hands -- here's where needle nose pliers come in handy. Grab the looped end of the bushing from the other side (driver door side) with the needle nose pliers. Pull it through by slowly increasing your force with the pliers, and it should snap through super snug. Now get the shifter cable with your new bushing in it out of the way because we're about to lube the rectangular metal shaft that it will snap around. we don't want to get too much lube on the shifter cable and bushing itself because it will make it harder to manipulate over the metal shaft into the proper position. So move the shifter cable of the way of the rectangular metal gear selector shaft. Then Apply a little lube all over the rectangular metal shaft. I used motor oil, you can use lithium grease or whatever you got really. Now push your shifter cable with the new bushing over the lubed rectangular shaft. Make sure you snap it snug all the way in place. Now check to make sure it's on there properly, pull back on the shifter cable and see if you can yank it off. If you can't easily pull it off it should be good to go. Before you start assembling panels back together you should test your work, see if moving the gear knob now moves the gears like it should. If it does, congratulations. Good luck out there
Mucho thanks, I was able to get this done in less than two hours! I was thinking it was going to be an all day event. $25 bushing replacement sure beats getting a tow to the shop and paying for the labor!
Great video. I’m thinking about making some videos of me (65 yrs old) changing my oil and doing repairs and just misc. Work around my place. Just to show that the ladies can do it too!
Thank you for the help! Saved me a LOT of time. Also, by the way, I was able to fix this temporarily using a cir-clip until the bushing fix kit arrived. I wouldn't leave it for a longer time, but it worked for a day.
$7 bushing from Toyota dealer, or $30 kit from Amazon. I almost purchased from Amazon based on the video. Thought I would check dealer price and I’m glad I did.
You smart young lady I have a van just like that and yes you're right you did not have to take nothing from the right side good work my band did the same thing I put it on Park and it kept going I haven't fixed the van cuz I have no time but I already took everything apart😂
Great information! The was the second bushing replacement I made in 2 months. The first was a Ford Focus with the same exact problem. The bushing was different from the Sienna also bought from BushingFix.
06 sienna cable will take a dorman 14055 universal shifter bushing kit from autozone, use the clear one, takes some effort to force in place, works great.
I fixed my van because of you and the other videos!!! THANKS!! The only problem, was that little plastic screw near the gas pedal. I broke it trying to pull it out. You are looking at it at 00:48. Maybe you can add how to get those plastic push-in screws out. THANKS, again!!
couldn't help but notice your cracked dash. i know there was a recall a few years ago that replaced a LOT of complete dash boards - due to cracking and extreme stickiness. I know it applied to our 2007 Sienna. No idea if it is still going on or not, but maybe worth looking at if you still have this vehicle..
I’ve got this same problem and I’ve followed your video for how to see it but I can’t seem to maneuver around enough to be able to get the bushing in and the cable back on. How did you do that without removing more?
It was really tight, but the only hard part was getting the bushing on. I did drop it a couple times because of the angle. I nearly gave up and asked my husband to push it into place, but I did get it set. Once the bushing was on the cable was really easy to set in place. Hope you got it worked out.
@@katechism9923 Nice video Kate! But I think you got it right the first time. I removed the glove boxes and pulled the whole center plastic away after dropping the bushing 5 times. I had tight quarters because the vehicle was stuck in the garage and I had little room on the drivers side. It wasn't too much extra effort to pull the glove box.
@@katechism9923 Thank you Kate. I just finished mine. Hardest part was getting the bushing in. It would not, then I realized that by inserting the bushing in the orifice first and then pushing it in to the metal part of the gear box, would be the same. Took me 5" to do it. Ordered the part from amazon. $25 next day delivery. A bit expensive, but way less than taking it some where to have it fix.
Easily the best video to show what is needed to get this fixed as efficiently as possible. If you have a Toyota nearby, the part was only $3 (Part#3383508010 - Bushing for Transmission Control Cable). Thank you so much Kate!

Why so many Toyota sienna van shift cable have the same problem. Very dangerous if the shift cable not working well. Toyota should recall to fix it. Report to America Road safety Council.

Thank you! We were stuck in a parking lot because of this issue and your video helped get us back on the road. Blessings to you!
Thanks Kate. You saved me a bunch of time on NOT having remove the whole panel. It is so nice of you to share
I was stuck on one part trying to remove it to get to the linkage and this video helped, thank you.
Thank you!! Used this video to quickly take apart only the parts needed!

Thanks! I just need to put in a USB port where a broken 12 volt port is. Your instructions saved me time!
Thank you so much! Just finished the repair. I definitely would have struggled without your excellent video!
Very helpful. Fyi: bought the gourmet from Toyota for $3!!!!. Just saved $500. Thank you.
I used your video to do the same thing on 2008 sienna. I looked at several videos and your was the best
Thanks for the video. You made the job much easier and faster. I have a 2004 senna.

Guess I'll be tearing into my 06 first before I even think about sending it to the shop.
Mucho thanks, I was able to get this done in less than two hours! I was thinking it was going to be an all day event. $25 bushing replacement sure beats getting a tow to the shop and paying for the labor!
Pray tell, what is the part name/# for this repair? I am in the same situation
Thanks so much. You nailed it and I was able to complete the job following your instructions. Well done!
Thank you so much this helped us marvelously we were stuck in the middle of nowhere and needed it fixed thank you so much!

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

Thanks kate
Salute to you Kate..
Thank you!!! Clear and simple instructions.

I didn’t have much luck pulling them out properly. Fortunately, they are very inexpensive to replace.
Thank you, did it this mornin
couldn't help but notice your cracked dash. i know there was a recall a few years ago that replaced a LOT of complete dash boards - due to cracking and extreme stickiness. I know it applied to our 2007 Sienna. No idea if it is still going on or not, but maybe worth looking at if you still have this vehicle..
Well Done! A+ for effort and for sharing your experience. I am about to attempt this as soon as part comes in from Amazon :)
Thanks for the video.
Thank you so much can you please tell me where did you buy the purple peace
Kate, I am madly in love with you. But, alas, I'm already married and far too old. Great job on this video!
Very helpful 👍
Thank you, extremely helpful!
Just did mines was simple explaining bought bushing at Toyota dealer for under 5 bucks🤙👍🏼
You're the bestest ty
Thank's Kate.....it went great... Annette
Superb. Very helpful
Great video. This was exactly what I needed. Thanks!
Also you can put the shift linkage back on the shifter and be able to shift again to move the car somewhere better to work on.
Yes! I pulled back into my driveway after I got the shift linkage back on. Things never break where they are easy to fix.
This was very helpful! Thank you!
you are like me i repair my own car, i have the same problem in mysienna 2004

Kate, I think that I have the same problem. What is the kit part number?
excellent
You are awesome
Toyota dealer has the bushing for the shift cable for three dollars and change. I bought one today.
This helped! Thanks. But take the van back to the dealer, and let them replace the cracked dashboard. Toyota had a recall. Replace it for free.
大灰鸟 I tried they claimed they wouldn’t. I was less than happy.
Toyota no longer replaces the dash. The recall is out of date. 😡
Easily the best video to show what is needed to get this fixed as efficiently as possible.
If you have a Toyota nearby, the part was only $3 (Part#3383508010 - Bushing for Transmission Control Cable).
Thank you so much Kate!
Can you please link for part
What is the kit
You don't have to remove glove boxes or the side panel on that side
