6 MT Shift Knob Compatibility

I'd like to know if the manual shift knob from the 4G TL (54102-TK5-A01ZA) will fit a manual 3G (54102-SEP-A01ZA). I have searched, but cannot find the answer. Price difference is pretty big $68 versus $29.

Thanks for any help

JJ

The only difference,I note on the 4g is the silver is not a brushed more a gloss. $29 sounds like a good price, where did you get that?

The 3G shift knob is more thicker or bulkier than the 4g shift knob. I just bought 2 4g shift knobs for my girls TL and my TL. I noticed the difference rite away.

I did not notice, I will measure tomorrow. Nevertheless, not worth an extra 40 dollars.

It appears more somewhere in production they changed supplier of 3g shifter. So the later 3g have a slightly smaller shifter which is the same diameter as the 4g. So it looks like the 3g shifter that is bought today is the same bulk at the 4g bought today. Driving the cars back to back I did not notice the 1/20 of an inch in diameter. However, my attention is on the steering and clutches catch point which is very different for the three.
