Quite a bit. I was going nuts that the throws were so long before. Its nice to not have it sticking up like a pole too.

I've been looking for a different shift knob for my xB. Anyone know what the thread
pattern is on it, so I know what I can get away with?

I love that Miata one by the way, are you sure it's polished and not brushed?
Either way it's really nice. Thanks for sharing the link.

I think all the scions have the same thread pitch for the shift knobs, but not positive. You can measure pitch by counting threads against a centimeter ruler, and cut a slot in an index card to get the rough width.

And yeah I meant to say Pearl, not polished.
" A clear powdercoated spun finish has been released at Team Voodoo headquarters and will henceforth be known as "pearl.""

I spoke with Voodoo about getting the pistol grip in

I told him to keep me in mind should he change that.

blitzcat - where did you get the piece that goes between the knob and the shift boot? Thanks.

It comes with the car. Turn the shift boot inside out, and reverse the silver thing. If you got a twm shifter, when you put the flimsy metal ring back on, lower it down on the pleather so it wont bunch up too badly. To make the boot and silver thing sit at the right height, get a metal sleeve at the hardware store for $.15 that just fits over the shifter lever threads but not the lip. Put it on before the boot/console and knob.

That could be more clear. There is a twm shifter install thread from November/December that covers this trick, which is how I found out.

they have diff. colors too but this one matched the stock interior very well. IMO

Hey guys, just wanted to show you our weighted knobs!

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/

Our knobs don't use the popular 3 set screws design, because we all know they always get loose. We use the NTIS Technology, explained here:

http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/column/index.html

Be sure to take a look at our new shift knob, the M1 Abrams:

The thread size of manual Scions is M12x1.25, automatics are M8x1.25.

Here are some pics of our new knobs that can be installed on both auto or manual tCs, available at TWM Shift Knobs (http://www.twmshiftknobs.com/):

I wasn't real happy with it when I bought it, but that's due in part to the fact I've never not had a leather shift knob, and this is the first of the last 7 cars I've owned that I put a short shifter in.

After I had it for a week, I'm never going back. :)

jus a little word of advice to everyone moddin shifters ........DONT EVER CUT THE SHIFTER SHAFT.....and i wouldn't leave out any spacers either....cutting shafts of shifters puts extra stress on the bushings inside the transmission because the distance of your hand moving is now even shorter and closer in length the the actual throw of the shaft below the boot.....a shifter is a physical lever and messing with the design will work parts too hard.....


but hey wat do i know....go do it an jus find out....

i rock a b&m shrt shftr its great and i wanted to chop it.........but i got edumacated

Yes, there is metal threading in the shift knob too but there is a plastic spacer/adapter used on the inside to thread onto the shaft which is crap. :lalala:

07-10-2006, 05:40 PM
Correct me if I’m wrong, but all 3 styles of the OBX knobs for the TC came with 2 plastic adapters, (I’m guessing one for manual one for auto), as is the case with the 2 different bases they include for different transmissions. So I'm thinking.... all of you manual TC's with OBX knobs should have the Auto adapter piece I need. Please Help Out! :pray:

i dont know much about cars, but this seems like one upgrade that i can handle. However i do have one question, when it comes to putting the new shift knob on, do all knobs fit perfectly right down to the leather, or am i going to have to cut off part of the metal rod and re-thread it inorder to get the knob to fit right down to the leather like the stock knob?

my monster knob did not fit all the way down to the leather. it will look like a ball on a stick.
my obx speedstar knob fit perfect, because it has a metal flange that makes it fit flush to the leather. i'm pretty sure the trd leather knob will work nicely also.


please do not cut the stock shifter,

I got my brother a MOMO shift knob for Christmas a couple years back. The MOMOs all use a universal design, with plastic spacers that match the shaft to the bore of the knob. Set screws hold it all together.

It sucks. That plastic spacer totally ruins the feel of the shifter. It's got a noticeable wiggle to it, not the solid feel that the stock knob has. He doesn't really care, and it looks cool, but I would never buy a universal shift knob after trying his.

After installing my new shifter and knob, like later in the day, I went for a drive. Damn that knob was hot. It almost hurt to shift. I had to put the stock plastic one back on. Now I keep it in my glove compartment just in case. Next mod on the list will be window tint for sure.

I used a hacksaw to cut this piece out, it was apart of that shiny plastic piece that attatches to the shift boot. Otherwise this or the OEM knob wont screw down on a SS.

ichibansf, do you have any other pictures of you knob?

I like that one, it looks like the A6 Leopard but isn't crazy expensive.
The pics on the site are blury and I can't tell what the finish looks like. Is the "Naked" a satin that matches the trim of the car?

How does it fit? I know you dont have a short throw, and it looks like your missing the metal piece that holds down the boot. Any reason for it? did you need to take that off in order for it to screw down?

Are there any other knobs other than OBX that cover the little holes in the chrome ring at the top of the manual boot? There is a MOMO black leather knob similar to the OBX options that I would like to get but it doesn't have the collar at the bottom to cover that. Is there a way to get that finished look with a different knob? If so, please put up some pictures, I'm not seeing it on any of these on here so far.

Sorry for the late late reply.... the twosRus 'naked' knob comes with a machined finish, which I would describe as half satin/half polished? Then as you use it more it becomes polished. I think in that pic I already had my B&M short shifter installed. I didn't like the chrome collar thing so I didn't use it, but if you did I think it would make the boot collar look better.
I ended up changing my setup again after finding out that Doc Isotope was making knobs out of delrin, which is a very hard plastic. No more burning shift knob!!! Plus he fabricated a matching e-brake cover... muy bueno!! :clap:

I think on some of the knobs, you can actually just keep screwing it on, and it will go on more.

Otherwise I suppose you'd have to cut it, then rethread the stock stick.

and even closer up:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v201/harrellj/Car/DSC00256.jpg

I've still got some minor fussing to do in terms of what to do with the top of the boot (rolled up is fine, but being that much bigger than the shaft? Not fine). I also need to try a different adapter, I think this one is still too big. Lastly, I need to replace the double-sided tape with something that'll hold it better.

You can't tell because of the way the lighting is and the fact that there's 2 different materials involved, but they actually match perfectly and go beautifully with the interior of the car.

I used Dupli-Color in a rattlecan. Started with one coat of Adhesion Promoter. Then I used a coat of Ground Coat followed by MetalCast Anodized Blue and a couple coats of Clear coat. No one seems to believe me but I didn't use any sandpaper and it came out very smooth. The pictures don't do it justice. The paint makes it look like actual anodized metal when you use the Dupli-Color Ground Coat. Just remove the parts, tape well, and take your time.

A short shifter shortens the throws, not the height.

Lower shifter height is just a popular options a lot of SS's have. A true racing SS setup involves a tall shifter combined with short throws.

It's only about three inches tall. You can either grip the top of it with the palm over the knob or wrap your middle finger in that grooved section. It's really comfortable.

it actually comes really close. but it matches the silver in the bezel perfectly imo esspecially with that brushed alum look. the the stiching on the sides match the stiching on my steering wheel cover, which has that blueish/black hue like the seats. so id say it matches pretty well :P

A short shifter shortens the throws, not the height.

Lower shifter height is just a popular options a lot of SS's have. A true racing SS setup involves a tall shifter combined with short throws.

I just read this post, actually (I admit, combing the thread for pics of my own knobs :P ), so I thought I'd post up my take on that...

damn you prolly feel like driving an 18 wheeler huh?

Not exactly. My shift throws are about 20% shorter than stock, and the shifter is never more than 6" away from the steering wheel-- and that's only in fifth. 1st and 2nd gears are 3.5" away from the wheel.

But as I've said 100 times, it's not for everyone. I don't even make them for other people. It gets in the way of the HVAC, blocks the clock almost all the time, and I have to reach around it to pause the radio. But it's worth it, 100%.

I had a delrin knob/brake handle set for a good while, but my background is in woodworking, so I'm always drawn back to wood. It feels so nice to hold. I'm probably going to spin another set, out of something more rare, like lignum vitae or mountain ironwood.
