Just curious if a Manual Transmission Shiftknob will work universally on a Toyota Yaris with an Automatic Transmission? As I wouldn't mind purchasing the Blitz Duracon Shiftknob.

Yea they fit since the Yaris doesn't have that gear selector knob usually found on older model automatic cars. I myself am planning on getting the Sparco Lithium shift knob for my automatic.

I am pretty sure there are different part # 's for the Auto and the Manual

Well of course there would be different part numbers, as one would have a shift pattern, and one would not. However that's not to say they aren't interchangeable.

I'm pretty sure whether there is an adapter or not a manual shift knob would fit onto the Yaris automatic gear shifter. I've taken my shift knob off my automatic yaris and it looks the same as my TC shift knob (manual). Easy to swap out but only difference is that the automatic knobs look a bit smaller than the manual knobs but that shouldn't matter since you'd be getting an aftermarket one.

The automatic has an 8mm shaft and the manual has a 12mm.

Do aftermarket shift knobs come with adapters?

Anyone have a clue about Blitz's Shift Knob? As I'd actually really love to pick it up for both the Yaris, and my Civic.

Not always.

If you purchase an OEM manufactured shift knob, it will come with adapters.
E.g. OBX shift knobs for Toyota/Scion will come with adapters

Other aftermarket shift knobs do not come with adapters, but are fastened by using three screws on the bottom of the shift knob, which "grip" the stick shift. This is how MOMO shift knobs are secured to the stick shift.

I believe that is how Sparco works also. Is it worse than using adapters or is it about the same in durability standards (three screws compared to adapters)?

Then I guess I'll take my chances with the Sparco shift knob. Thanks for all the info though:thumbsup:

Where can you obtain an adapter from? As I still would love to obtain the Blitz Shiftknob for my automatic. :(

Well I called Sparco and they told me that the adapters come in the box with the shift knob. "All the hardware is included in the package." So hopefully that helps.

OBX IS GARBAGE and i don't think anyone has ever used those adapters for a toyota/scion yet.......
