Easy install. Pics tell the story....:biggrin:
I used Loctite 271 adhesive red on the brass collar and 242 blue on the shifter shaft.

$50 shipped via Ebay from Conicelli Toyota of Springfield.
I had a 10% off coupon for the 'bay.
BTW, the 5 speed version screws right on without the brass threaded piece and has a different collar piece on the bottom.

Sweet!
What's the chrome center? The part with the hex key screws on the top of the ball? Any pics of the crack, how bad?
Thanks!
It is a Toyota part,I guess not from the TRD line though.:iono:

That's the top piece. Is it plated plastic mabye?
Could be cracked due to pressure from the shifter's shaft perhaps.
You should set the camera to macro or pull back a bit the camera from the subject. You'll get clearer pics that way.
I would like to see this crack...:confused:
