shift knobs??? oem, which fit 99 4runner?

thodi · 07-24-2005, 03:04 PM

hey guys,
i have 5speed 4runner and im looking to upgrade the stock shift knob.

thing is, i do NOT want one of those pep-boys crap knobs that you screw 3 headless set screws into your shifter to hold it on...those are gay.

what i REALLY want is an OEM is300 shift knob. (the silver ball)

soooo, who knows what thread pattern / screw size / shaft depth the OEM toyota/lexus knobs are?
im also not against another manufacturer, nissan, honda, etc. but i already know that honda civic/integra shift knobs are too small to screw onto my 4runner.

so, any imput will help. thanks guys, rock on!

I have the TRD one on my 5speed. Love it! Much better than that stock rubber one.

M12-1.25 is the thread size on the shift knobs.

i have the TRD one my dad got it at the stealership for me for a conformation gift

hes friends with the parts guy so im sure he didnt pay list price but expect to pay a premium for the TRD knob

its SOOOO nice tho, its soft and plush and weighted so it makes it nicer to shift with. it would be great on a supra or mr2 or even a celica

I just swapped out my 2 stock shift knobs on my '85 pickup for a set from a '99 4Runner, so I can say for sure that they are interchangable between different gens and models if that helps at all.....

I found a generic copy of the TRD knob - looks exactly the same but no TRD logo. Cost me $15. I don't think the logo is worth another $60....

Are you sure??? It will probably add another 10 hp!!

I have a pair of skull knobs for sale cheap. One brass one chrome.

thodi · 07-26-2005, 05:37 AM

haha...love the chrome skull knob!!!

thanks everyone for the info, i checked it out, and it seems that all toyo's (from like early 80s and up) have that same thread pattern M12-1.25.
its also shared by a few nissans. (i think the new 350z is one)

but overall, i like the ball shift knob look, so i think im gonna try to find a used IS300 knob. theyre weighted, chrome, and make a cool conversation peice.

lexus wants 100 bucks for it, so im scannin ebay at the moment. (they go around 20-30 bucks)

FYI: ive seen the TRD ones on ebay go around 50 in case anyone is interested.
