I tried wrapping the shifter shaft thread with Teflon tape and forcing the shift knob on it. If it had been the other way around, I could have just drilled the knob to bore out the hole and then rethread it. Mazda Miata shift knob thread pitch is M10 x 1.25, which is a smaller hole than that in the M12 x 1.25 Toyota/Ford shift knob thread I had.

But I don’t like it very much either.įor months I thought of ways of sticking my old alloy shift knob in the Miata but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I find the shape weird and not very inviting. I don’t like the stock shift knobs in the original NA Miatas. It wasn’t until I bought the 1995 RallyWays Miata that I got the urge to swap the shift knob. I liked the stock NC Miata shift knob so I never bothered changing it out.

Because I liked it so much I always wondered if I could somehow install it in my MX-5 as an NC Miata Mod. That alloy shift knob was then in storage for a couple of years. The shift knob lived happily in my XB until I sold it prior to purchasing my NC Miata. The thread pitch was correct, but I needed it to go lower, so I drilled it deeper and threaded further using a M12 x 1.25 tap.

I didn’t want it in a Mustang, but rather my daily driver at the time, a 2008 Scion XB Gen 2. As it is, I modified this knob when I original bought it.
Custom shift knobs manual#
The knob is M12 x 1.25 Toyota manual transmission shift knob thread pitch which also coincides with the 2005-2010 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 and V6 models.
It does work well on smooth shifting transmissions that don’t require heavy shift knobs to mask shifting imperfections. At only 175 grams, it’s kind of lightweight, which is a shame. For this reason, this is a shift knob that feels really good in your hand as you can’t feel any seams between the ball and the stick. There are no seams or any of that cheap funny business. There’s a small shaft at the bottom of the knob that is part of the knob itself. The neat thing about this particular manual transmission shift knob is that it’s not just a ball. It’s the typical American muscle ball shift knob, but CNC machined out of solid aluminum. I have this very special custom shift knob that was original designed for a Ford Mustang. Here’s the shift knob when it was installed in my old Scion XB.

Since this isn’t the case, we’ll talk about how to perform a custom shift knob conversion to make your favorite shifter knob fit a different car.
