How do I install a twm short shifter in my corolla
Assuming you would like a step-by-step guide on how to install a Toyota Racing Development (TRD) short shifter in a Corolla:
Before starting the installation, it is important to gather all of the necessary tools and parts. For this project you will need: a TRD short shifter, a Phillips head screwdriver, a flat head screwdriver, a 10mm socket and ratchet, a 12mm socket and ratchet, pliers, and lubricant.
1. Park your Corolla on a level surface and set the emergency brake.
2. Remove the center console. This can be done by first removing the two Phillips head screws that are located under the front lip of the console. With these screws removed, the console can be pulled up and out.
3. Remove the shifter boot. This is attached to the shifter with three 12mm nuts. Use the ratchet and socket to remove these nuts, and then pull the boot up and off of the shifter.
4. With the boot removed, you will now have access to the shifter assembly. There are two 10mm bolts holding the shifter assembly in place. Remove these bolts with the ratchet and socket.
5. With the bolts removed, the shifter assembly can now be pulled out of the vehicle.
6. The last step is to install the TRD short shifter. To do this, simply reverse the process that was used to remove the factory shifter. First, insert the shifter into the vehicle. Then, bolt the shifter assembly into place using the two 10mm bolts. Finally, reattach the shifter boot using the three 12mm nuts.
That's it! You have now successfully installed a TRD short shifter into your Corolla.
