I recently purchased my first car a 2002 Toyota Celica from a private seller and took it in for inspection. Unfortunately, it failed due to a damaged shifter assembly, which needs to be replaced before the vehicle can pass inspection and be registered in my name.
I’ve been searching for a replacement shifter assembly but haven’t had any luck finding one compatible with my vehicle. If anyone can point me in the right direction or has information on where I might locate this part, I would greatly appreciate your help.
When I got the car it was already messed up I didn’t see an issue since it could still drive and thought I can just fix it for a later date but when I took it to get it inspected the mechanics were taking a look at it and messing with it but I need it fixed to pass inspection
From what I see, the best advice I can give is, ask relatives, friends, and co-workers if they know of someone who works on cars on the side.
For all we know, there’s nothing wrong with the shifter assembly. But instead something fell down between the shifter and the bezel and is preventing the shifter from operating correctly.
Then that would mean you would only have to replace busted trim pieces.
No clue, none. It took me 10 seconds on a search engine to find this.
Go to Ebay motors and search. At least they rate their sellers. I haves boughf a few used parts that way. Sometimes it is an issue and you get the wrong part but it can be returned.
