I haven't looked at the OEM shift knob too closely. Never really thought about changing it until I saw the nice TRD leather one above.

So, my car isn't here right now and I can't look at it. Please tell me if the shift knob is a threaded or setscrew application?

I installed the OBX one from sparks yesterday. I think it looks great especially with the OBX peddle set. Really spruced up the interior.

wow I haven't seen anything like that in a while, probably would need to make some kind of a base for it to make it look flush but you could probably make it work

Sorry guys! Here are the links for the knobs. And yes, They fit!

For something completely different, I used a golf ball and just drilled it to size. Don't even need to tap threads as golf balls have a rubber center, and so thread on with a little persuasion. I went this route after finding the 'ball' type shift-knobs available were a little too big for my comfort...

Did you have any fitting issues? I thought that TRD leather shift knob was setup only for the manual tranny. Let me know because that is the one I like the best. Thanks! Looks awesome BTW :thumbup:

There are two TRD shift knobs in that style. One has the manual markings; that's for the manual. The one without the markings is for auto.

Do you happen to know the part #'s or have a picture of the two for comparison?

Guys. If you want to see how the installation went, check my thread here:

Auto

Manual
http://trdparts.jp/image/p_shift-2.jpg

As you can see, the auto looks JUST LIKE the manual except there is a silver part on the bottom. I assume that silver part is for changing the thread size.
I don't have the US part number as it doesn't exist for the USDM. However JDM part number for the auto is 33504-SP005.

BTW, that TRD leather shift knob looks to be identical to the one my father has on his new Tacoma (minus the TRD emblem). I was admirimg it the other day when I was driving with him. He said if it fit my Yaris, I could exchange with him. Lucky for me it fit, so now I have a nice new leather shift knob!

Don't quote me; but I would assume they are the same knob. The auto version only has the collar to make it end neatly as the auto doesn't butt up against a shift boot like on manual. I could be wrong though, but it seem sot make sense to me cosmetically.

The auto shaft is thinner than the manual. If I remembered correctly, the auto is 9mm and the manual is 12mm.

W.A.S.P

07-28-2007, 10:44 PM

I think the automatic one is 8mm

When replacing the automatic shift knob, did you guys have to remove the center console? If so, is it hard to do? I want to change the stock shift knob for custom ones... please help. Thanx

no, you just have to unwind the automatic shift knob - try it

Also check-out the small auto boutique at Mitsuwa Japanese Market in Costa Mesa (Paularino/Bristol). They have a bunch of really nice shift knobs from Japan... some on sale cheap!
