sticky left/right shifting - 1999 SL1
Trying to help my buddy; his '99 SL1 has recently started getting
difficult to shift left-to-right - like, between 1/2, 3/4, and 5/R positions on the shift pattern. I popped off the clip at the transaxle for the left-right cable, and it was still sticky, indicating it's not the tranny. Any ideas? I'm not too familiar with these cars. Thanks! Elijah |

sticky left/right shifting - 1999 SL1
I see no one has replyed to you so I will give it a try. I am assuming
you lubed the bushing that is at the stem of the sifter? If not try that first. I that doesn't work I would address the bushing it self. They are prone to failure. If that happens Saturn will only sell you the whole cable. That is a big cost. Now there are work arounds. I under stand that some wiper linkage bushings for Toyotas work for a fix on these. There are also people on the net (I think Ebay) that sell a replacement bushing. The following is what I found MIGHT work: Wiper Linkage Bushings (for Toyota Camry 2001-97, Corolla 2002-98) http://www.partsamerica.com/ProductD...rtnumber=49448 And this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Impro...spagenameZWDVW This guy is a good one (I have bought from him) Hope this helps, Rob wrote: > Trying to help my buddy; his '99 SL1 has recently started getting > difficult to shift left-to-right - like, between 1/2, 3/4, and 5/R > positions on the shift pattern.
