Anyone know the thread size on our shifters by chance? Looking at a pretty sweet shift knob that twists on (no little allan screws to hold it on) and comes with all of the following adapters to fit short shifters and other stock ones:
3/8"-16
3/8"-24
1/2"-13
1/2"-20
9/16"-18
7/16"-20
Thanks if anyone can measure theirs real quick for me. smile.gif I'm still in the office at work (damn deadlines...lol) so not able to do this myself right now.

Bringing in this thread because I had the same problem but found an easy solution. I bought a Sparco shift knob as well.
I bought a M10X1.25 hex nut and grinded the crap out of the edges with a metal grinder. Took like 15 minutes. Just be careful wear eye protection and not take out a finger. Then I made sure it fit snug into the hole with the 3-screws. It fit perfectly. Then i hammered it in all the way and patched the holes up with JB weld. Then screwed those 3 screws into the nut as tight as possible. If you don't match the tread so that your shifter logo ligns up, just stick some aluminum foil into the hole and when you screw it in it'll fit snug pointing the right way.
The hex nut size for the OEM shift stud is:
M10 X 1.25
You can find it at home depot machine screw shelves. No more annoying screws coming off everyday and ruining your tread.

Interesting. So any tC screw one shift knob will work, as long as its 10 x 1.25? I'm actually thinking about maybe even making my own shift knob now that I know what dimensions to drill. Thanks for the help guys....
