Default shift **** question

I want to replace the shift **** to a leather one. I dont want anything too fancy. My question is regarding the OEM screw off ****. Will OEM ***** from other cars with screw on/off ***** fit the shifter. Such as shift ***** from Hondas and Nissans?

If anyone knows, let me know

Thanks Everyone

Mike

The shifter uses a M12 x 1.25 thread. Any shift **** threaded for that will work. Honda, Acura, and Subaru are some of the manufacturers that use that thread.

As far as I know, only Toyota and Subaru use that thread size. Honda and Acura's thread size is much smaller...

Momo don't screw on. They use rubber inserts and tiny set screws to hold the **** on.

You're right, turns out Honda uses M10 x 1.5. That is what I get for using second hand information

the obx shifter screws right on and stays on tight unlike other brands that use 3 little allen wrench screws that vibrate loose

anyone have the TRD one? that one looks the best to me.

gone are the days of a shift **** with more metal than leather. i had a momo shift **** (i think it was the "race" model or something) in my old car and that thing burned the hell out of my hand on hot days in Texas. freakin' sucked. i saw the OBX ***** at the dealer and i shuddered from the flashbacks i had. maybe i just needed window tinting and those sun visors or something....

keep in mind that the "screw on" ***** will require occasional tightening. gets old after a while.

just a tip!

Agreed. Use loctite. Teflon tape would be a total _____ to use on those tiny screws.

BTW- on my old car, I had a momo Raptor and didn't use the set screws at all, and it never came loose.
