It fits, but...

[Chris Denton]

...I’m gonna need to do something with the shift boot.
I might buy the shift plate that goes on the automatic model since the rod is chrome.
Any other ideas would be appreciated!

Can't you rotate your pics before posting them?

What do you mean? I can see it normally.
Left or right?

Quarter turn clockwise would be a perfect vertical picture. No fitment issues so far Chris? I'm not even sure how the regular shifter comes off (I want to put a ball on mine, but the TRD one is pretty neat too)

Are all my pics like that? They’re normal on my iPhone.

Anyways,
Just pull down on the boot chrome piece to unhook it and unscrew the knob. Lefty loosy righty tighty.

ok, I'm on my computer now and yep, needs to rotate to the right. Sorry, I don't know how to correct this now. I load all my pics from my iPhone.

Following to see what you do with the shift boot.

Me too!
The shift plate that has just the slots and no boot, is on European models only. Best I can determine. Right hand drive.
I might get a universal LEATHER boot and make it work. I’m also looking into the TRD Pro shifter for the Tacoma. It has a square base for the factory boot to reattach to.

 

[Chris Denton]

Maybe I shouldn’t have said square. Has the same or similar collar for the boot.

 

[TheDrainnoodle]

Yep that was my problem exactly. What a pain in the rear to put in a universal boot because of the weird shape that ours has. I finally got it though and it looks and functions perfectly! I'll upload pics in a little bit

Alright man, where can I get the boot?

Truthfully, I think the one you have looks better than the Pro version. It’s too square for the flow of the corolla in my opinion.

I agree!
I’m looking for a boot that just has a chrome ring on the top that can just free float on the shifter rod. I don’t need the boot attached to the shifter.
We’ll see, still looking for that special one. Lol

 

[Chris Denton]

So I purchase a suede boot with chrome top from sickspeed.com
Hope it fits.
I will probably take it to an automotive upholstery shop. Not something that I want to mess up, I’m not much of a seamstress.

You can actually remove the ring that came from the original shifter boot and replace with a generic ring. If you remove the top plate with the prndm from the shifter assy you can see from the bottom that this ring is only held by plastic tie wrap.
That TRD shifter though is made for gated AT w/o shift boot so the ring is an inverted cone.
I replaced my PHDM gated shifter with the USDM shift boot type and somewhat misses the original leather shift knob.

I tried to find the chrome ring, all I could find was the NEO chrome. I’m not into that.
But I might take the ring off the one I bought and put it on my stock boot, if it’s as easy as you say.
The shift rod is chrome too, so I think it will all match up nicely!
Thanks!!

Does that not burn your hand in the summer and/or cause frostbite in the winter? Interesting look for sure.

 

[TheDrainnoodle]

This is the exact one I used. Took me I think 3 tries to get it right. Meaning I purchased and cut 3 of them lol. They're cheap though so it's okay.

I'll just leave these here. The right one is has leather shift knob but the lower chrome part is not interchangeable because they have different key slots.

That’s what I’m talking about!
Do you know the part number?
Are these yours?
NEED MORE INFO!!!

Yes, those are mine. The gated shifter is the original one. It is standard on all Philippine market CVT Corolla Altis. However, those won't fit your transmission since it has M +/- and not "S" and "B".

 

[Chris Denton]

The gate pattern is just a little different.

 

[Chris Denton]

Here’s what I came up with.

Ok, when I’m logged on the picture is normal. But sideways when I’m logged off and viewing the page. Weird.

What is it you did exactly Chris?

To the shift boot? Or the picture?

The boot. It looks like you finally got it to hold up from the pics

I bought a suede shift boot with a chrome(ish) top from sickspeed.com
Took the chrome top off and put it on my stock shift boot. It’s only coincidence that it stays up.
