Ok, so I found a few threads on shift knobs for the 2gs, but nobody seems to know the actual thread pitch. I found the knob I want, and here are my choices.

M8x1.25
M10x1.25
M10x1.5
M12x1.25
M12x1.5

I THINK its M8x1.25, bc i remember trying a friends RSX knob (M10x1.5) and it just slid over the threads, it was too big. Anyone know for sure?

 

You could always head to Home Depot or Lowes. Take the shift knob off and try a few bolts till you find the one that fits.

 

why get a knob.... its automatic!

 

...or measure it with dial calipers...

 

do you have access to a tap and die kit? They have thread pitch gauges in them.

handy-Im curious-how is a dial caliper going to help him with thread pitch?

 

but lowes and home depot dont hreally have metric threads and shit. most of their stuff is imperial

 

I figured its the most accurate way to measure the thread pitch on the shifter.

 

Because its cool

Not really. I figured someone would know the size lol. Fuck, this is actually gonna take effort.

 

if he was measuring the thickness of the bolt, yes...but thread pitch isnt something a dial caliper will measure.

Tommy hold your shifter up to the screen..lol

thread pitch gauge


dial calipers

not trying to be a smartass man...please dont take it as that.

 

^ Don't worry, I get what you're saying lol

I'm pretty sure it'll be pretty darn close though, using the top end of the caliper in the picture.

I haven't seen too many thread pitch gauges, but then again it would probably be cheaper than high accuracy calipers....haha

 

Ok, got it all figured out, thanks!

Lexus IS300 shiftknobs fit

 

Every Lowes or HD I've been in did. They are in the metal cabinets in the hardware aisle, not the open bins. You need to look.
