neutral safety switch shaft

Unread post by cucci58 » Thu Sep 23, 2021 6:42 pm

Hi, I have a 2011 Toyota 4 runner 4 wheel drive limited. I tried to change the neutral safety switch and it came off in pieces, what was left a metal ring I could not get off the shaft, I beat it up pretty bad, I just chewed it up couldn't get it off, bring it to Toyota they said I need a new transmission, I beat up the shaft to much , I said cant you just replace the shaft, they said no... transmission still works fine for 200,000. Can you help me is this true. thank you. tony

take your track to a transmission shop and get a second opinion.

The dealer is probably worried about doing a repair that they would have to warranty not knowing if there is damage inside the trans from the work you have done on it.
