aftermarket shiftknob on automatic?

[CPALK719]

anyone switch their stock knob from their automatic with an aftermarket one? im quite fond of the blox brand shift knobs considering i own 2 of the OG type R style ones both in my evo and del sol.

is there a specific thread pattern with the automatic?
thanks for any help my fellow automatic yaris brothers !!!:biggrin:

I put an OBX Speed Star shift knob on mine...

Looks cool but it's cold in the winter and hot in the summer.

And the knob on the auto is an M8x1.25 shaft (harder to find). It is a LOT smaller than the manual one (M12x1.25). Mine has an adapter.

Cheers! M2

that is so awesome. how did you manage to switch out the shift rod?

[matthewai]

yes please tell us about the shift rod im trying to do something like that but not as long

I didn't, I just got the thread type and machined an extra long ( 12" ) extension. Then purchased a cheap skull shifter knob off ebay.

sick im gonna do this!!!

wow!!! that sits very high, but it is neat looking

[CPALK719]

im thinking more in the lines of something like this for my car

the only problem is blox only has 3 different thread patterns and none fit the auto shifter yaris

Here is an idea I had but decided on using a delrin knob from Garm.....

he has thread adapter for the delrin knobs,it is threaded for the automatic stick and also has larger threads that fit the manual size that the Ti knob would be able to screw to....

I really think it would work.

its not too bad once you get used to it. I can proudly say I've only knocked it out of gear once.

[kngabby]

Got this a few weeks ago.

[CPALK719]

blox contacted me back, and they currently dont have any knobs that will our auto shifter.... so i will continue to search until i see something nice i like and its an exact fit.

you need to give that skull a skeleton body. haa

I made this up yesterday.....it's the 14 ball, 'cz I'm twice as lucky as a 7 :laugh:
(actually, if I goofed up, I didn't want to do it with a 7 or 8 or cue....)

The thread pitch it 8 x 1.25 with a drill of 27/64 and 1/2 x 13 tap (I just drilled and two part epox'd the insert).

[auxmike]

Here's the OBX one the dealer sells for the Yaris. Comes with an insert to screw right on to the thin A/T shaft hassel free! You must order the A/T version to get the insert piece included. It gets ice cold in winter though...

[matthewai]

those are cool im waiting on this one
http://www.toypartsdelivered.com/images/parts/5325.jpg
it should fit with no problem (m8x1.25)

[MadMax]

I tried this for a while...

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c209/M2Repsol/Yaris/GolfBarShiftKnob2.jpg

But it was too small and light. It's quite easy to do, just requires some careful drilling...

Plus, the OBX I have (just like the one auxmike posted above) looks and works great.

Cheers! M2
