automatic shift knob mod

Looks fantastic.

 

Alright , the TRD knob is here ......... here is what I cut off and the end result . Very happy with it .

 

Cool mod, thanks.

 

@inesshell

 

What kinda tool are ppl using to cut the shaft?​

 

I want to do this so bad!!! How’s it cut!?!

 

Hacksaw, dremel tool

 

It looks great! I did not like the skinny 8mm rod, and made an adapter to sleeve it out to 13 mm and accept any of my Mustang billiard ball knobs:

 

Awesome post @Hippiglass ! Looks great! The shift knob is my only mode- switched the leather knob from my ‘07 OR. Didn’t like the plasticity feel of the ‘15. Might just cut the thread down too

 

Very nice OP. I had switched out my knob couple years back and didnt like how high it looked. Never thought of threading more of the rod and cutting it down. It didnt have threads but set screws instead which I didnt like. After seeing your post, I hollowed out the bottom and epoxied a m8 1.25 nut inside. Now it sits right and stays tight. Good job.

 

Nice job! looks good. ill plan to do this now. I was thinking the other day it was kinda tall...

 

Thanks for posting. I'm really tempted to do this myself. I'm looking forward to seein others shift knob mods.

 

Has anyone shortened the shifter AND swapped to the 3rd gen knob? I wanna see what it looks like. Kinda feel that the bulkier knob of the 3rd gen would look weird but hard to tell without seeing it done.

 

Nice . Need to do this for my AJT knob . Going to do sound deadener on floor hopefully Fri so....

Good idea OP
Edit

Eh WTF . Why wait . Did it . No beer Satohap lol.
Lowest can go to be able to put into 2 L

Edited now lost pics

 

Subd for future picks. Cool idea OP.

 

Thats nice love the billard ball. Just shortening the shaft and using the factory knob is just dumb though in my eyes.

 

Sometimes subtle changes like that makes a big difference in some peoples eyes . With minimum amount of work done made a huge improvement in my eyes even with the stock knob . OP

Edited my post above and lost pic . Poster error lol. Trying again Failed again



Success .took awhile

 

I love this thread. Thank you very much. I did this mod to my truck and love the look and height of the shifter now. I had trouble getting the die past the thicker area.. so I used a M9 x 1.25 die to cut down first and then followed up using the same M8 x 1.25 die to cut the finally threads. I found this to be easier for me and just wanted to pass on this information.
