Gear Change Cable Mod

[tezza72uk]

I have read in the forums of a modification to improve the clunky gear change on the Yaris. Does anyone know if this mod. is a kit that can be bought, how long it takes to do, and if it really does improve the gear change? I am now on my second gearbox the first had a problem with a noisy bearing and clunky change, the new one also has a clunky change, a fault I have had with another model of Toyota with a cable change. Thanks in advance for any replies!

its a linkage a not a cable avaiable from toyta for the 1.0l i had it fitted to mine under warranty, was noticeably better but gearbox breaking dont think it will stop that

I think the gearbox is great! It's short, has a nice clunk as the gear goes in and it's easy as pie! You can flick it around with no effort, even one finger! Brilliant for speedy junction exits!

I drove a T2 and you could change gear by coughing!..

Mine however is more 'racier'..clunk, get in, clunk, get in.. <_<

I think you may be thinking of a mod that can be bought in the states (from echodrivers forum) that replaces the rubber bush on the gear linkage with one of brass.
