Removing Shifter 95 Camry I4 LE

[NAthanpoulson]

I cant remove my shifty.. The OD button wire is stopping me from pulling it off.. I spent a good hour trying to figure it out, but i cant. Is there a way to take the OD button out.?

Just cut the wires, and splice them back together when you're done.

I dont like doing that though, shit gets messy.. I see a plug end.. but when i try to follow it, it dissapears under the shift link and stuff.

It's really easy, and clean if done properly, and if you take your time. You've already said you tried for an hour to figure it out.

It took me an hour to to this to my car...



I cut the old wires, and spliced them into the wires of the new switch.

nice shifter, I think about it, thank you for the info. hehe

cuz right now, im not doing this for a new shifter, im doing it for the panels under it. The PRNDL2 panel and stuff..

I just used a couple of butt connectors, and a crimping tool/wire stripper. Just strip the ends of the wires, and install a butt connector between the exposed wire ends with the crimping tool. Done.

You could even get away with just stripping the ends of the wires, and twisting them together, then wrapping the connection in electrical tape.

Did you make the pipe shorter? Or is that just the height of the new shifter?

WOW! I haven't seen this thread in a while. Anyway, no, I didn't cut anything but the black plastic cover tube that came with the shift knob. The new shift knob is about 2 - 2.5" shorter than the stock one.
