Looking to get a new shift knob and I wanted to know what the appropriate thread size is for an 05 Xb.
Thank you very much!

I would say either 10mm or 12mm. Most shift knobs are universial and come with several different sized inserts.

Thats my 2 cents for the day.

Not the Blitz knob I am looking at. Momo knobs screw on with allen bolts so they are universal. Others like Razo come with different inserts.
I think our cars are 12x1.25 but I need confirmation.

I'll confirm 12 x1.25 to the best of my knowledge

How do you change out the stock shift knob? I'm a newbie xB owner.

TRD does make one for the short shifter. I'm not sure about separate.

trd makes a round knob only available for the short shifter. TRD also offers a "traditional" looking knob. There are also a few other threaded knobs available, IE Skunk2, Greddy, more.
Do a search

If someone is interested in the knob that comes with the short shifter, let me know. I bought a Momo 2 weeks after installing the shifter so I have the one that came with it just laying around.

Romanova, if you got the Blitz knob, can you post a pic? how does it feel? i haven't seen one first hand so don't know if it's something i would want. did you go with black or white?

they have the obx carbon fiber shift knobs. i have a gunmetal/carbon fiber one and its prety cool, they come in red,blue, gunmetal, and silver. if you go to your dealer they should be able to help you out. if you buy one you have to make your own thread though, its not hard,you just screw it on and it forms itself around the thread of the shifter
