Shift Knob Thread
lol, ok folks, as some of you know, I recently added the OEM shift boot to my automatic.
http://i667.photobucket.com/albums/v...he/photo-2.jpg I'm about to order a new shift knob, but I had a quick question: does anyone know the thread size for the automatic shift knob? I just want to make sure i can seat it properly, thanks guys |
well i ordered a password jdm balanced one, so I guess I'll find out in a couple days
http://passwordjdm.com/images/products/3662L.jpg I got the black one on the far right |
I don't believe the auto knob screws on??
|
Hi, do you have any pics of the install and did you have to mod anything for it to work?
|
Op - that looks very good. :) I would leave it as is.

Two quick and easy mods... Sorry I don't have too many DIY pictures, hopefully this is enough. I shortened the shifter stick and modified the knob.
I reduced the stock shifter by 40% in height by cutting out the middle of the post, leaving the base of the post and the top threaded post for the knob. Then I joined the two posts back together by attaching a 2 small steel rods and bolted them together (drilled and made holes which were threaded to ensure a tight/strong mount (used small alan screws with locking nut). So far so good just like factory feel except with a shorter throw. (Note, Nissan puts a lot of lock-tight on there so using care when removing the knob will ensure you don't rip the leather). I took a risk and customized the stock shift knob by using and oil based silver metallic paint to fill in the depressed shift pattern. At first this seemed like a screw up because trying to stay within the groove lines was not easy. To get around this I simply applied the silver paint to the top of the knob let dry for 45 seconds then with a cloth very lightly dipped in paint remover I wiped the extra surface paint away. Doing this slowly and lightly allows you to remove the paint on the top while leaving the paint inside the grooves alone. Paint dries fully in about 15 minutes and have been test driving it and so far so good. If you use too much thinner just wipe off and condition with some leather care product. Total cost for both mods was 10 dollars and total time was about 3 hours. http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...975-shift4.png http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...0974-shift.png http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...t-shifter5.png http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...bin-night2.png |

yeah the can says thinner glad you pointed that out, remover would have probably dissolved it :eek:
used a couple drops today on a q-tip for more removal around the edges. also picked up an enamel paint pen, more accuracy and less clean up. below is the stuff i used. Just a friendly note, it will also help to keep the picture count down in the thread without quoting, just reply using the post button at the bottom of the thread as opposed to the reply button in the post (if that is what was meant) http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...erse-small.png http://www.the370z.com/members/370z1...ducts-used.png |
im so glad we found an alternative to the stock knob :)

I was under the impression (KaienZ34) was implying that I should have posted less pictures which is why I mentioned that people can reply without "quoting" each time because it would not continue to repeat the pics over and over, if that isn't what you were saying than (my bad).
somatic-I know this isn't an alternative just a small mod to the stock knob, i do appreciate your comments though |

and a little more of a slim style like these, instead of the big fat round ones |
I will talk to my guy about these suggestions and see what we can do. Also a Dry carbon shift knob is not going to give you any benefits and could be too light...
|
Best bet for the carbon look is to get a knob that you like and have it wrapped in carbon by carbon fiber element or someone like them.
