Shifter Cable Lengths

I quickly measure the NA AW11 cables. They are approx 1170-1190mm (center to center), hard to straighten them out to get an accurate measurement.

Both cables have close to the same overall length at 1240 mm between bush centers, or rose joint to to bush center in the case of the one for forward and back movement of the gearstick.
But there are other dimensions that may vary between different cables.
For instance with the cable for the forward and back movement of the gearstick: Rose joint to bracket clip at the gearstick end with the cable pulled right out. (185 mm) At the other end the bush center to bracket clip with the cable pulled right out (180 mm)
I didn't take any more measurements on the other cable, but the cable/ clip distances are different.
The Toyota part number for cable I measured is 33821-17061. I think it is for a 92 model and it will be slightly longer overall compared to the one that does the same job on the early '90 models.

Hope that helps.

I've got AW11 NA cables at home to measure, so if you can measure SW20 NA ones, that would be a big help :)

SW20 cables come in several different lengths.
All NA cables have a green or a white band near the gearstick end, and all turbo cables have a blue or a red band.
I have been told that turbo cables are longer than NA cables.

Also cables for the NA and turbo's on the early models were slightly shorter, because of an updated shift lever on all the later models after about '92 - '93.

I keep a set of the later model NA cables at home for spares and could measure them if you like, with maybe total cable length and sliding movement, or whatever you need.

Afraid I don't have any info on AW11's

Does anyone know what length the various shifter cables are in the AW11 and SW20?
