Why is my Toyota 5 speed truck shifting badly?
My old ’86 Toyota 5-Speed truck was shifting badly at one point and the dealer replaced a simple metal ring that the shifter handle assembly rested on. Over time, it had simply worn down. If lifting your shift handle a bit while you shift helps, you may have the same situation. Again, I wish I knew more. Thanks.
