Increasing height of stock AT shifter?
 

Do you guys know of any shifter extender that increases the height of the OEM A/T shifter?

I want it a bit higher since im usually on manual mode, and prefer the shifter over the paddles.

I noticed Raceng has an extender with the AT's dimensions but for some reason, the M10x1.25mm does not list the frs in the list of compatible cars.

Thank you!

The product you linked is very expensive for what it is. Just a piece of bar stock with a threaded section and tapped hole.

If you are handy and had the right tools you could probably get a tap and die with the same thread pitch the auto shift know uses and make your own.

Or just buy one lol.

I googled "shift knob extender" a bunch of stuff came up. I am sure if you took the time to sift through the results, you could find something that would work at a fair price. ( I mean it is just a threaded metal rod - How much do you want to pay? )

you can manual shift with the knob?? mine doesn't have that feature, It doesn't go up or down on the lever, just to the left to engage the paddles.

Try it again, i know it feels like it doesnt shift up or down. I drove my friends 860 and i could shift from the knob just fine. It should have the "+/-" for shifting up and down.

Yes, I can put my car in Drive and then pull my shifter to the left to engage "manual mode". Then the shifter should push forward and back to change gears.

INTERESTING! i'll try next time i go out

..you can also still use the paddles during normal D but after a few moments if you don't continue to use the paddles it goes back to being full auto.

open your cellphone and download Wish, I think i saw what you want there before....... except it's dirt cheap. :bonk:









Wait you wanna extend the shifter not the paddle...? I have some weird image in my head now, I think we need the expert here @Tcoat @humfrz

Yep, like mentioned, get a piece of pipe and a tap & die and make it as long as you wish. - :D

Man you guys do not disappoint. :party0030::happyanim::party0030: You came you saw and you conquered. :lol:

The replies are hilarious guys! But seriously i just want to know will the Raceng one fit? I of course like the material and finish of it too..

This adapter might be useful for fitting taller shift knobs made for manual

It does, but as a warning to anyone using it this way, the shifting is backwards. Look at the + and - near the selector. Every race car I've ever worked on was 180° from that, and my first attempt at using it resulted in a surprising down shift, instead of up, LOL. It was also the last time.

Just swap the pins. There is a DIY on here somewhere with which ones to swap.

All Toyota cars are backwards like this for whatever reason.

Could just buy a longer shift knob.

man we try to stay classy here :thanks:

There ya go - :thumbsup:

I was aware of that one, thanks though... tried out the shifter up and down, its a little more fun than the paddles. :)

btw, check out sickspeed products on ebay, I have the adaptor( kind of like the manuals lift for reverse part) and a pearl shiftknob. I used the adaptor under the shift boot for a clean OEM look, but if you use it above the boot, its like an extension.

Mother of God

I've seen it, I just prefer the paddles, hands on wheel :)

Yeah, when driving hard I use the paddles only. But just cruising around in a scenario manual works better (like rolling hills, traffic where I'm looking to pass, etc) I tend to use the shifter. And muscle memory from racing games and other cars I have driven is just too much lol

Exactly the same!

Also you will need an adapter for the boot retainer, otherwise you'll have the exposed metal

there, see that black piece under the purple...thats the adapter...I got mine in silver and installed it first, then the boot goes over it so there's no exposed shifter stick. The way its installed in the pic is on top of the boot which extends the knob up.
