Middle console piece by auto tranny shifter?

[steve-]

Well.....I ordered the part #33554-35020, this is what i got today:

I don't think it's the right part:

The shape of the hole is not the same as the shape of the piece. When i attempt to put the piece in, there is a good gap. I did confirm it with the parts guy and looked at the diagram yesterday.....it was the right part number.

I know little about part numbers, I would assume that toyota gives each piece it's own number, and not have the same number, for the same piece from generation to generation? is that true? Could i get this piece with the same part number, but its for a newer model or something?

Could somone please post a shot of their console with the piece not missing?

It doesn't look like you got the correct part# -I just looked it up here at work for a 97 Runner and there are two part #'s. The other one is #33554-35050 and should be the one you need.

Kinda a bad picture I found on the Internet but you can clearly see the cover in place and how it's suppose to look.

I'm sorry but I think I told you guys the part number for a 2wd cover.
I looked it up again and the 4wd part number is different.
This is the part number for a 4wd 33554-35050.
It's also about 6-7 bucks.

But again I'm sorry. I didn't see this myself when I looked the first time.
Hope you guys don't hate/ban me now!

Heh....$1.50...no big deal. I should have researched it a bit more.

You think the 4WD version is really $6-7? Still not alot, but after buyg this one, $6 seems kinda pricey. Just gives me another reason to stop by the dealership now. They have a soda fountain, and you can get yourself free cups of soda. so as long as i can drink as much soda as i can while im there, i might make up for the extra cost. :cheers:

If all else fails. Bring in the VIN to the dealer and have them run the VIN for the correct one.

Sorry again!!

Funny you say that. I gave them the VIN yesterday and they still gave me that part. Think i might be dealing with some questionable parts employees.

Never the less. I ordered the new part. Should be here tomorrow.

Would you believe....same part.....different version (050)......~$8.50 from dealership. :redbrick: You f'ing kidding me? almost 7 times more expensive. This one better have somethin cool on it or im gonna be pissed.

Sorry again on the wrong part number the first time. Ya, there might be something wrong with the parts guys there. Toyota uses the VIN for everything and they still get it wrong?!?!?
Just make sure before you actually buy it, check it out first to see if it's the right one

Just bring a big cooler when you go pick the new one up and fill it up with their "Free" soda fountian!! :beer:

Sorry!!
If they are unopened I don't see why the Toyota dealer won't take them back???

 

[toy-runner]

Can anybody post a picture of what it is supposed to look like with that piece intact. I'm with the majority of you guys, I'm missing the part also.

 

[toy-runner]

OOpps, sorry didn't see it before, thanks for the picture. Gonna go and order this part from toyota soon.

Just a joke. No problem

Ok. Just didn't want you guys to hate me :sobbing: :uzi: for wrong info.
I know I'm sorta new here. Bought my 01 4runner a few months ago after Toyota bought back my Taco.

I try to help here when I could. Been turning wrenchs in a garage for 4-5 years. So I've had my fair share of f**k-ups.

I have the same button, but mines on the top right side of the shifter. I try to press it and move it, but nothing happens. At least I know what it's there for now even though it won't budge

 

[ksroqclimber]

Success!!

Second try and $9.52 and Im in business.

Thanks for the help. I will edit the original post as Solved.

 

[cfranck1]

Congrats. Now the shifter is complete.
Sorry again for the wrong info the first time.

 

[4daRUNNER]

Wow, Mine is missing too. Doe's this part come off easy? I don't want to buy it and then it'll pop off while driving the Runner.

 

[ksroqclimber]

It snapped in pretty solidly. Seems to hold pretty well.

I could see though if you were pulling your console apart, if things got torqued the wrong way it could cause it to pop out.

Id say as long as you dont F' with it, it wont come out.

 

[blcktpgsr]

Man I just noticed I'm missing mine too!!
