TRD shift knob

Post by GT_03 »

It says it just screws on, but would it fit the Vibe??? Hopefully it does http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

No idea but I put an OBX toyota Matrix shifter on my Vibe and it just threaded on. Came with a platic self taping piece that locked into the middle of it. You could also set the height.That E-bay one looks nice though.

Looks nice, but I'd like to see the shift pattern stickers that come with it..

It would probably fit but i don't think it would look right. if you look at the shift knob of your vibe it is longer and look up inside you will see that the threads are toward the top of the knob. i purchased a aftermarket knob and when i put it on the shift lever stuck out the bottom and the shift boot didn't cover it...

The OBX one I installed was just long enough to cover the top of the shifter boot.

FYI The threads for the Gear Shift are 1/2", 20 FINE Thread. How do I know this? I bought a Type R, black chrome shift nob from JMD Racing for 22 Bucks total. It is threaded for 3/8" 13 course. Wont fit on our Gear shift. So being is that I was going to lose money sending it back, I went to the local Farm & Fleet (You HAVE to live in Wisconsin to appreaciate this) and bought a new set of Drill bits (MY 11 year old has lost most of mine) and a new tab and tapped out the new shift Knob and screwed it on. To cover up the shift boot, I took off the plastic housing and put part of the shift boot on the gear shift upside down and inside out (Like making a Cuff on your pants leg but in the inside, not the outside. I held this in place with a small "Zip Strip" and cut off the access. I then re-attached all the plastic stuff. I then bored out my new shift Knob to about an inch deep and tapped the rest. It now slides part way down the gear shift and screwed on the rest of the way. It looks fairlt descent (Yes, I know, I will try to take some pictures, I just have to fiquire out how to post them.
