Note that the replacement part can be found at any Toyota dealership for around $8, making this DIY solution ideal for those who already have access to the necessary printer and plastic materials, thus avoiding an unnecessary trip to the parts counter. To ensure a smooth printing process, I printed the lever upside down. This approach allowed me to avoid incorporating supports in the critical spline shaft region, ensuring a clean and precise finish. The design was created with tolerances that work well for my 3D printer, but you may need to adjust them according to your specific device's requirements. The spline dimensions are particularly crucial, so be prepared to make necessary modifications to achieve a perfect fit. A STEP file is included for easy integration into your preferred CAD software.
