This may help you out.

#1
Remove lever boot and rubber handle cover. The cover takes some force and twisting motion. It has a small amount of glue. But you should be fine. I removed the lever boot to make it easier and not damage it, plus I wanted to see more under the center console for other mods. So it's up to you.

Release the tension on the stock release button. This is done by carefully prying the two tabs outward just enough to get the spring out.

#3
Grab a pliers and spin the chrome tip like you would unscrewing a nut. I marred the chrome a little, but I am sure it will never be going back on...... ; ) remove the spring also a this time. That way it won't rattle later. Once the spring is removed push the tabs back as flush as possible. That way the lever grip will slide back on easy and not have any visible bumps.

Replace the shift boot and lever handle. Once back on you can now screw the spin knob on and enjoy!

I will add a installed video tomorrow. This is a nice mod for the drifters at heart! To many cops tonight to sample it here. My next mod will be to dampen the release thud.

Thanks for posting this up. I was able to install the drift knob using your walkthrough. I hadn't tried taking the handle off before and that was the issue. Thanks!

Does anyone know what the thread pitch is for the spin turn knob? if its the same thread pitch, Ill just use the one I have laying around from my old 86.

086A · 09-11-2012, 06:27 AM

The thread is 5mm x .8 pitch and the OD of the knob is 14.7mm where it goes into the handle. Good luck!

Thanks, now we know!

How do you take the cover off, lol? XD

086A · 09-25-2012, 09:22 PM

This could get real perverted real quick......

The handle has some glue but no a lot. Just grab the handle and with a twisting motion work it off... Haha, there was no way to make that come out right.

Just don't get caught by your girlfriend or parents... I warned you!

Hahaha, I figured it out...it was a lot of twisting and jerking, but I finally got it. I made a video too!

Yup, my brother put a red one in his FRS. Install is the exact same process. And I believe 086A's is an FRS too.

Got mine on finally!

Rather than order a new threaded button, I made the one I had purchase work by creating an expansion plug out of a rubber stopper, drilling a hole in it, and gluing it into the drift button. I threaded it on and I think it looks and works awesome.
