Anyone have a aftermarket shift **** on there 5 speed? I want one that will just screw on a stock shifter with no mods. I like the trd one but want to no what else fits. thanks for any info

 

I had a home made bubble **** that i ran for a while. I found the drill bit and tap at pep boys for like $10 so i can just make a threaded **** if its a solid mateial

 

Anything that threads on will fit...

 

Any shift kn0b you find that is a 12x1.25 thread pitch will fit..

 

True, 12x1.25 thread pitch will fit. But I have a question:

I bought the **** I wanted but it just threads down the stick. The OEM is kinda like an upside-down pear with a sleeve (grey) attached to the bottom end so that it fits flush to the boot. With just a new ****, there is a 3" gap from the bottom of the **** to the top of the boot (there's a plastic insert at the top of the boot that grasps the stick). So, what can one use to "sleeve" down from the aftermarket **** to the top of the boot? It looks kinda stupid without something.

Just wonderin',

Slide the boot up towards the shift ****. I did that to mine. Looks akwards at first but you get used to it

 

I thought about that, but isn't the diameter of the plastic "stay" at the top of the OEM boot the wrong diameter to just "slide up" the stick? I think there's a notch in the stick where that stay seats.

It is a different diameter but the plastic piece will hold snug. I ran mine like that for a few months with no issues.

Heres how i had it

 

Done deal. Worked perfectly. Stuck a screwdriver in the expansion slot on the stay, slid it up the stick, put the OEM sleeve on top of the stay, screwed down the new **** and VIOLA! It's tight enough for me.

Thanks for the tip.

No problem bro.

 

I wanted a round shift **** instead of my RS 7.0 Lever handle. I had some black leather to cover the white plastic, I like it, Torque Solution shift ****, weighs almost nothing. Looks plain and sporty.
