Re: sticky gear change
Hey Guys,
Just picked up my parts from Toyota.
I might owe some sort of apology towards yourselfs and the gt4 website as the pair of bush they are selling for 24GBP are made of bronze.
The OEM part from toyota for much less(EUR3.08+VAT each and EUR1.88+VAT each) is made of plastic. I had no way knowing that.
Personally, I don't feel disappointed at all. I'm sure these OEM ones are chosen by Toyota with longevity in mind and will probably last for another 25 years.
The larger ones at the gearbox are quite hard plastic, the smaller ones going to the gear knob are bit softer, has some sort of PTFE feel to it.
I'm sorry if anyone ordered these and feeling mislead. EPC doesn't go into details about what material the part is made of.
However, I'm sure even these will bring some improvement.
Kind regards
