Rite.... I have a 6 speed gear knob on my TT and also wen i rang Toyota for a part the other day, it came up as a 6 speed wen i gave them the engine and model codes, but.......... i sure as hell cant find a 6th gear! Is it possible for it to be stuck or something? Or does that mean it had a different box on it? Im going to get it looked at as soon as its insured and on the road

I thought 6th was straight down from 5th. I've certainly never noticed it move. There is a bit of a notch where you cover the reverse plate while pulling down into 6th but thats about all i have noticed.

 

Possibly a conversion with only a 5sp box?

6th gear is straight down from 5th, as per Brett's fantastically accurate diagram. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong, and should be publicly flogged.

 

Phew, thought i was going insane. Either that or i had a completely different box from everyone else. The only "to the right" motion i can feel is if i slowly come out of 5th i can feel a slight notch to the right. I assume this is where reverse would be if it wasn't locked. As i move into 6th the gearstick moves back left a little bit to be direcly underneath where it left 5th, i assume this is it coming out the little notch.

 

I've never seen a 6 speed box where you go down, right then down from 5th into 6th.

Now i know its a long time since i drove mine, but how long is it since you drove yours?!

That will be the one, its not 'straight' down, yet neither is it a mile away.

Yes and as i said, there is also a notch to the left as it finds the gear.

 

The final position of 6th gear is directly below the final position of 5th gear.
