ANSWER : You are very nearly right. There is a bowden type cable that connects the the shifter to the transmission. It has adjustable ends and one or more of those adjustments has probably worked loose. That or you might need a new shift cable or new bushings at the connections. Either way, you can have the problem conveniently solved by contacting Your Mechanic. They will send a technician to your home or office to check out your shifter and transmission and tell you exactly what you need to repair it. Meanwhile, be very careful with this car, it might not go into park when you expect it to so be sure to set the brake and park it very carefully.

ANSWER : You can play music that is stored in a USB drive directly through the infotainment center. Here’s how:

Plug the USB drive into the USB port, which is located in the center console.
Make sure the device is compatible with the infotainment system. If the system displays an error saying “No supported data found”, then your USB drive will not work with your vehicle.
Turn the Menu or Menu/Sel knob until it highlights Search, then press the knob to select.
Use the Menu or Menu/Sel knob to select which category you would like to browse.
Use the Menu or Menu/Sel knob to select a song.

Tip

Only the first 10,000 songs on the USB device will be recognized by the infotainment system. The system can only play .mp3 and .wma files.

ANSWER : Anything is possible with enough engineering. The changes you are looking at would take major structural changes and would definitely not be an easy job. You could possibly consult a manufacturing engineer to get more details on how this could actually be carried out and whether it would be feasible.

ANSWER : Hello – first task is to check the transmission fluid level and quality. I believe this transmission is designated as "lifetime lubricant", which really means you should seriously consider changing fluid and filter at 100K miles at least. You could have a dirty filter, or some bit of grit has blocked a solenoid or valve in the transmission valve body. I recommend a transmission fluid and filter service using Toyota fluid for compatibility and a transmission inspection performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, and give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.

ANSWER : This is an internal problem with the shift switch on the transmission selector. The transmission would need to be tested to see if it is a defective selector switch, or the transmission valve body problem. The system would need to be tested since the system goes through the transmission control module and sends signals on the computer network to the dash display. If the system is in a failure mode, then it may not let you go into manual mode. Have the transmission checked just in case the system has an internal failure.
