Metric thread width for AE86 T50 Gear Shifter?

[Garth AE86]

im after a new gearknob, a weighted metal one to remove some vibration noise from my current plastic knob, and ive not found anything that is specifially 'toyota' branded that will fit...

however, i have found a 10 x 1.5 threaded knob (http://www.srtmotorsports.com/catalo...oducts_id=4468) and am wondering if it will fit.

does ayone know the 'toyota' thread measurement? or better yet the T50 one?

maybe drive in a hardware place and try all diff nuts onto your thread and see which it is. Then buy a bolt which fits that nut and take the bolt everywhere with you to see if the gear knob will fit in that thread.

the ae82 is 10 x 1.25.

i baught a gearknob cheap with the wrong thread, luckily it was smaller, so i drilled out the thread and tapped it. perfect fit.

edit: causion regarding metal knobs: they get VERY VERY hot in the summer. but this will make u learn how to shift gears quiker

The AE86 one is M10 x 1.25 also

Garth, I didn't think you could live with yourself if you used a non-TRD/Toyota item? Ran out of money?

I am considering the TRD short shifter, comes with TRD gear knob also. Any good?

I made a aluminium knob once, and being in Tassie the problem was it was too COLD.

haha jonny

i dont mind using other brands, to be honest the TRD shortshifter one is too plastic
the leather is nice but the plastic its made from rattles like a bitch over 5000rpm

so im going to a c's and getting a weighted knob

so the 10 x 1.5 wont fit? bugger

get a standard S15 saliva knob, they are awesome! heavier than standard and trimmed in leather.

[Garth AE86]

serious? has the correct thread?

got a pic of one by any chance?

[roadsailing]

ill see if i can get one, 100% certain it fits.

just noticed the leatehr is starting to wear through, still feels fine though. might have to get a different one in 5 years or so.
