Greetings folks, just got my order in for my xB, 5spd Camo, AEM & Fogs, and I've been checking the site for things to check for on my new Scion. Of course I've already hit the hardware store and grabbed a DIY cabin filter, but I was curious to know about something that I'm not able to find... shift knobs...
Does anyone know what the thread pitch or measurements are for the xB shift knobs? Are they able to accept knobs from other cars? Only asking since I've got a spare OEM Acura Type-R knob that I've not put on my '93 Civic EJ1, and was wondering if it would thread onto the xB.
Any info is appreciated, thanks.

Most people here will tell you to use the search button. Just warning you. Most knobs are universal so just try the one you have. Trd makes several you can get elsewhere other than a dealer. Just check the part area under reviews

Well it'll be another week or two until I get my hands on my xB, just wondering if anyone had tried it before. And yeah I was trying the search but looking for "shift knob xB" and "universal" or "honda acura" was getting no results that were applicable...
but yeah I am very familiar with the flame onset for anyone who doesn't just search, especially when they're new to the board...

I had an aftermarket shift knob. I really liked the design. It looked like the OBX ones with out all the fancy carbon fiber and stuff. The only problem was that it was secured to the shift stick with 3 bolts. It stayed tight for a while but then it got a little loose. It was real annoying. I tightend the bolts a few times, but I stripped the tops of the bolts and they were hex.

If I had a stick, I'd buy one of these (to match my tititanium Airborne bike).
