Shifter knob details - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

mechaghost · 05-17-2012, 03:06 PM

Trying to figure out what the shifter knob information is for AT and MT. I am talking to lathewerks for making a custom shifter knob. Any idea on how I can get the correct threading size (I'm not sure if this is the right term)?

According to Chris:

"For all Subarus, the manual are M12x1.25 and auto are M10x1.25, but the BRZ auto may be different because of the Toyota influence"

Most Toyotas for manual are M12x1.25 also.

I bet they know at Perrin Performance. They already show a shift knob for sale.

Chirs said Perrin has the manual shift knob info. Anyone know what the AT shift knob info is?

MT = 12 x 1.25mm

FYI, Chris has a BRZ page set up on his site now.

He's building me a Nismo replica:

That Nismo knob looks like delrin... I would love a custom shift knob of my avatar. I use this everywhere... Kinda my personal emblem... Started as a joke 7 years ago, but I'm recognized by it.

WC Lathe Werks does custom engraving. E-mail them with the picture and see if they can do it. It looks simple enough, I'd be surprised if they couldn't.

I've never heard of anyone using a butt plug for a shift knob before

I have a buddy who is USMC and he has a Jeep with a de-MIL'd fragmentation grenade for a shift knob. I think that's funny as hell!

Not trying to take away from WC Lathe Werks, as I love their custom engraving options! Here are a few pics to give you an idea what they look like. We have two colors and two sizes also.

All knobs are bead blasted with super course sand, then anodized. This creates a really cool texture that lasts. Personally, i like the silver small size in the car.

We haven't gotten an Auto yet to know for sure what thread they are. Hoping its like the Subaru Auto with a 10x1.25 threads.

I have an auto and want that knob. How can I get you the details you need?

PERRIN_Jeff · 05-23-2012, 02:39 PM

Unscrew your knob and snap a picture for me. Then tell me the measurement of the outside if you can. I can figure it out with the picture though. Or we can send you both our adapters we make (12mm and 10mm) and see which one works. Send me an email:
