Just sent a price and availability request to my local Lexus dealer. I ordered two of those sliders hoping to get the right one from other vehicles. No worky. Glad to see this. The first price I saw was as about $67. I can live with that. It's the price for the window buttons that cheap me. 🤔
Buy the cover from an ls430 is a direct fit part number
35975-30270 slide cover
33555-50030 shifter lower boot.
This will fit the the 2001 to the 2005 sc430 w/o sequential shifter. To replace the boot cover the shifter must be removed, this boot prevents noise and heat coming from underneath the car into the shifter area.
Just an update, the part listed far above is for 2006 - 2010 SC430.
If you have 2002- 2005 SC there is no replacement part for the shift slide cover.
However, the 2002 LS430 has the same transmission as the 2002 SC.
The shifter slide cover for the 2002 LS430 is the exact part for the 2002- 2005 SC. I havesequential shifter and it's a perfect match as well.
The new cover actually has the same number stamp as my old one.165W.
I paid $30 from my local dealer. https://www.lexuspartsnow.com/ has it for $18 This is the part number, a perfect match for the SC 2002-2005
This is my first post as new CL member, so apologies in advance if I’m going over old ground! I recently endured the frustrating and familiar shift slide cover replacement dilemma that so many other SC430 owners have faced.
After a lot of reading on the CL site (and others) and a couple of unsuccessful attempts at ordering guesstimate Lexus slide cover substitutes, I called the local Lexus dealer’s parts department in a last-ditch Hail Mary effort. To my amazement, the guy said, “Sure we’ve got it.”
When I asked why there was no part number for just the slider, he told me that in the case of the SC430 the shift housing was pretty unique. The “slide” is only sold as part of a shift housing sub-assembly with Part #35907-24030. (See pics)
The “sub-assembly” includes a new plastic base that the slider rides in, a new clear plastic illumination piece that sits atop the slider and a new bulb, with socket and wiring for the shifter. After some dickering I was able to purchase the slider and its other new parts for about 85 bucks. Ouch! But I had to fix that disintegrated slide cover! The slide cover measures 2-inches or 5 cm/50mm across. If one could find a slider with that measurement with matching toothed nubs underneath my guess is one might get away far more cheaply. Still – I fixed mi
ne; no issues. Take heart, the part(s) does/do exist! (#35907-24030) Sorry for the epistle!
