I want to change my 1992 Camry's automatic shifter for something sportier. Does anyone know of of a shifter that will work for my car?

Very hard to find.
I had asked Napolex.com maybe a year ago.
They said they only left some for the RHD.(The OD button is in the right side.)
And they offered a cheap price for the RHD shift knob.

are you looking for a sportier look or a sportier feel?

Sportier feel on old 4 gears hydro-transformer automatic transmission? Ha!

i was thinking someone with a stick shift who wants a short shifter...nvm

try RAZO, they made excellent shifters for both auto and manual

^Which short shifter are you using E? I bought a gen 7 celica short shifter because i thought it would fit ,but it doesnt not in my 5speed 92 cam at least.

i'm 90% sure corolla gt-s short shifter fits.
i saw some on ebay for sale for like $19 dollars shipped and people used that on the solara and it works...IIRC...that is.

i was gonna give that a try some day but never got around to it cuz i had bigger problems to solve.

How do u install that automatic shifter guys?

PortugalFocus · 06-07-2010, 10:10 AM

I've never done one on a Camry but there should be a set screw on yours to hold the T-Style shifter in place remove that and replace it with the new one. The new one will come, most likely with instructions. I don't know if you have a O/D switch so you many want to leave that always turned on.

anyone think u could fit a shift boot around the obx shifter hes showin in the pic? thatd dress it up alot.

bigbird · 02-23-2011, 07:23 PM

yeah you could. just wrap it around the bezel. it would be hella rice but it would look better then just an odd sculpture where your shifter used to be.

Ryan01le · 02-23-2011, 09:25 PM

well, i think u could put it around the shifter assembly then put the bezel down. the gen 4.5 has a bigger bezel around the shifter assembly than the one in the pic. maybe it wouldnt quite work like i think. u sure its ricey? seems more like wanna be luxury. haha thanks for all the help bigbird. u seem to answer alot of my questions. and might i say thats a sharp camry coupe

bigbird · 02-24-2011, 04:00 PM

thanks man, and im glad i can help. Ricy...the concept is, yes. putting a boot around an auto shifter to hide the huge steel shaft poking out of the center console i would consider ricy...but better then leaving it naked by far. I hate it when luxery cars do that. but would it look beter...yes. BUT i have for you a much nicer looking solution...

simply cut the stock shifter shaft down so the new shifter knob sits low. the lower shifter alone looks MUCH better.

Ryan01le · 02-24-2011, 05:41 PM

ah, yeah that is pretty sharp like that. what kinda shifter is that in the pic btw? idk for me i think the boot looks cool, i mean im not tryin to make it look like a manuel i just think its cool. what i really wish i could do is swap out the whole assembly for one of those shifters that just drops into place, like no button, u just hit the brake and drop it on place, and they have like different positions for each spot instead of goin straight. i dont think i could do this withought alot of work going in cause idk if itd be the same size etc.....
