I've been driving since 1990, and all of these aftermarket knobs with adapters suck. Stick with a proper threaded one.

What is the difference between M12x1.25, M12x1.25A & M12x1.25B? Which is the one I would be looking for? Also, is it possible to use adapter screws? I've been looking at this one [ebay link] but unfortunately they don't come in M12x1.25



Thanks everyone. It has been difficult finding this information anywhere.

i couldnt agree with you more.


@xmotionx, i don't think it makes any difference so long as it's 12x1.25. not sure though. your ebay link is not the correct one for a manual, but for clarification m12x1.25 is for manual, m8x1.25 is for automatic shift knobs.

Ah, its a good thing you mentioned that. Mine is an automatic so I would be looking at 8x1.25. Now I have more options lol.

Yes any one you get from the local parts store or ebay will absolutely suck. But, I've been using a MOMO knob for about 6 years and 3 cars now and absolutely love it compared to stack ones. So you can get a good universal aftermarket one bit expect to pay close to $80 for the quality.
