Does anyone know the thread pattern of the shifter? I'm looking to cut the shifter rod and re-threading it instead of buying a TWM shifter.

Thanks.

 

ooohhh good question. all i know is that the twm looks soo short it's crazy. one thing tho u wont have the shorter throws just a shorter shifter. get the rs-type off ebay and then cut it. and since most shift ***** use set screws you gont really need to rethread unless u really like the ____ty rubber shift ****

 

Thanks for the suggestion Darren. What's the difference between a shorter throw and shift? I always thought it was the same.

Well, I'm looking to retread because I like the TRD Leather Shift ****.

 

the short throw shifters change the pivot point making it so as the throw of the shift is less. aka push it not as far. i've done the ghetto cutting of the shifter and its better than stock but not better than a short throw.

 

Don't think the threading pattern makes a difference, most ***** I've seen are all self threading.

 

nah most shifters are thread specific. u can find it one here some where . i believe the toyota ***** have a plastic insert so self threading it would not.

 

The TRD **** does have a plastic insert for the threads. I don't have a clue what the thread pattern is and I don't have an accurate method of measuring for you. I didn't like it so I bought a Momo and it used the set screws.

 

easy answer just buy a tap and die set

 

Yea, I could get a set, but I'd rather, if I knew, get the specific thread pattern to save money. Cus you know.. money is important..

 

take the **** to a hardware store and use all the bolts to thread on there till you find it,

 

thats an even better idea

its gonna be metric though (i know that was a well duh comment )

 

go to sears and ask one of the hardware guys to check out the thread pitch gauge u just slip it in the **** and wala. lol i . used to have to explain tap and dye so friggin much. not many people know what size or what all the pieces in a kit do. and i'll tell ya one thing no kit ever has more than 5 sizes that you need. and i'm talking 70+ piece sets. i would guess it is 12mm x ?????

 

i know this an OLD thread but in case you or anyone else needed the info still it is 12mm with a 1.25 thread pitch.

 

WOW.. Back from the grave for sure, but thanks for the info.

 

I'd just go to the hardware store and grab some nuts. (Thats right, I said gab some nuts)

It's probably a pretty standard metric 10-32 thread or something close.
