One problem related to automatic transmission floor shift has been reported for the 1998 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I shifted from "park" to "drive", the transmission assembly cable broke. The vehicle had to be towed. A dealership claimed to have part in stock, upon arrival I was told part was not available to me for purchase. I special ordered & paid for the part & was told it would be in 8/11/04. On that date I was told there were none of these cables in the u. S. , the earliest eta was 8/16/04. This was revised by sandy, Toyota parts delay team, to eta 8/18/04.
