Toyota Tundra Shifter Loose
There should be zero play on both.
Toyota tundra shifter loose. Its threaded on the inside. The lower gear shifter bushing will have to be replaced to remove the looseness of the gear shifter. You may have a broken shifter assembly and dont even know it.
Luckily I got it back in park by playing with it but now it is so loose that I cant get it to move at all. It literally screws on and off. So I went to the Google which told me my problem is worn out shifter bushings.
Remove blinkercruise control assembly in white using a large phillips screwdriver with two screws on top and one underneath.

So I bought this Tundra recently and have been addressing a few maintenance issue.
The gear shifter is connected to the transmission linkage underneath the gear shifter console. I decided to live with the loose shifter rather than f. This will hopefully be the shift cable or related linkage.
Got into my Toyota Tundra 2001 4x4 and the gear shift was so loose that I could only get it into reverse. If you really want it to stay in place unscrew it and put blue loctite on the threads on the shifting arm before screwing it back on. Tacomas 2016 started by oldschoolczar Jun 16 2016.
Just kind of wobbles around and its starting to bug me. No lock nut or anything like that eventually it will friction hold when tightening. One of which is a wicked sloppy shifter.
