I received my new suede with light green stitching shifter boot yesterday. I also received my new Grant Evolution Black and Carbon Fiber Shift Knob today. Install took me about 30 minutes which included peeling out the stock boot ring and then stitching it into the new boot. The knob uses allen screws to secure it to the shaft.

I like the results. I would have preferred having matching tan stitching however the boot did not come that way. I am considering having the current stitching pulled and replaced. I will see how I like the green. I would have also preferred that the upper ring on the boot be black and not silver however I could always pull it and paint it if I have the stitching redone. Decisions, decisions...

Man that shift knob looks very nice! Do it fits to A/T?

^ Yeah it sucks that they don't have something similar for the A/T. That would kick ass.

Can you tell me where you picked up that green stitch suede shift boot?

What is going on in your a/c control knob area??

I'm sure you could make it fit if you made a spacer.

Hmmm.. not so much - the threads are different, so it would have to be a very complex "spacer". If it could be done at all.

These aftermarket knobs don't thread on, they're held on with set screws, so the threads don't matter.

The Grant shift knob is a "universal" fit... designed to fit the shaft of just about any manual shift. I presume it will fit the shaft of the Yaris automatic.

Ah-hah! Haven't used one of those since one fell off in my hand years ago. Prefer the threaded ones that stay on without set-screws.

So, Yeah, as Kimona says, it should fit. :smile:

Yeah, I much prefer the fit of a treaded on one as well myself.
