um... who knows where i can get a set of shifter cables. it seems that they cant be sitting directly on the exhaust for along time. just goes to show that you should check over everything after you do any work on your car. dumb turbo kit. well maybe dumb me. plz help.

scion47,

Is your xA a manual or automatic? Regardless, I'd check out toyotapartseast.com (http://www.toyotapartseast.com/scion-xa-parts.html). I've bought some routine maintenance parts for my tC from them in the past and was satisfied with their heavily discounted prices on OEM parts. I'd input my VIN in the 'search parts by VIN' function to further refine your search.


On another note, what kind of turbo kit did you slap on your xA man? :biggrin:

ok what were your reasons for replacement. i am getting supermushy gears at the shifter and now im not getting into reverse. can this be purchased off of someones total. my shifter cable is sitting on my damn turbo downpipe. i dont know what hks was thinking. its the only flaw in thier kit. but for 1400 you cant really complain. yes i can! this ____ is gonna get expensive. i will take pictures tmw you guys will love this. i only have like 2 inch clearance. i am thinking ALOT of heat shielding.
