Default OBX Shiftknobs

I have an OBX shift knodb fo my auto Trans, and the cap which is a chromed plastic secured by 5 allen screws, is chipping. Does anyone know where I could get just a new cap? I've tried Toyota, but they are no help, and the obx website doesn't have any inof that i can see. I've also thought about sanding it down and painting it , but not sure yet. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know.

Yep, get a new one. I wouldn't get the same one again. A lot of people have that problem.

I have the CF OBX shift **** on mine. Going on 9,3XX miles and no problem with it.

lol, shifters are a wear and tear item that have more to do with time and mileage, since it deteriorates do to the extreme heat and cold of the interior of the car, and the hands of the driver.

i had the obx classic leather shift **** for a while, and after about two years, the leather started to peel and stretch away. so i got a trd brushed aluminum shift **** instead.

anyway, no, you can't just buy that center cap part unless somebody is who has one might sell you their cap or whatever.

Here's one from Sparco


Project Mu


They don't specifiy if for automatic or manual only though-- but there are some on here that do say for Manual Transmission, so I would assume they'd put that on other shift ***** if it were the case... then again not good to assume hehehe

You can check on Optomize Scion
