Toyota shift knobs universal?

[modmonster2008]

I wanted to know if all Toyota leather shift knobs are universal for all toyota cars. I was asking because i have a friend who has a stock mk3 shift knob off his 92 n/a, a TRD leather shift knob, and a stock leather knob off a 2004 Toyota Corolla S. I wanted to know if all those would fit a standard shift lever for a 1989 MK3 with W58 transmission? thanks!

maybe not all Toyota cars, but many are interchangeable..

the TRD leather shift knob does fit without any mods (I have one in my 92), so you don't have to worry about that one..

also, the W58 and R154 use the exact same shifter, so that shouldn't be an issue when selecting..

thanks! its just i want to have a nice looking leather shift knob keeping stock look or at least close to stock, and i like how the new toyota shift knobs feel...

Toyota has 2 different thread sizes, so no, not all will work.

 

[modmonster2008]

so the 3 best choices are W58 shifter, R154 shifter, and the TRD shift knob then ?

If it looks like this, then yes it's a perfect fit.

Yes, TRD FTW..

bump, does anyone know if the w58 and r154 shift levers are the same?

maybe you could read through YOUR thread, at the least. try post 2

 

[modmonster2008]

well i was just curious as to why when people post they want "w58 shifter" or "r154 turbo shifter" when they can just say 5 speed shifter, thats what confuses me

 

[Poodles]

Because they don't know they're the same

Toyota has one thread for M/T shifters and one for A/T shifters. I can't recall ever seeing a Toyota with an M/T that had a different thread size.

IIRC the FWD shifters have a smaller thread, was years ago when I was looking at other shift knobs from TRD though...

I think the toyotas all use 12mmx1.25 so the TRD knob is the same on the supra MR2 celicas Some trucks.
I have the rare TRD solid metal 6 speed shift knob.

Looks kind of like this one but its more rare its egg shaped and solid metal 6 speed one.
I can not seem to find it any where it was originaly 75$ when sold came in a box.
but the one in the above picture is $162

Do not mount universal pedals and shift knobs on your car they are held on crappy and vibrate off.
I made a write up on how to swap in Celica GTS or lexus IS 300 pedal set that will not fall off on you.
Also make sure to get a threaded shift knob so the set screws dont come loose on the universal ones and the shift knob doesnt vibrate.

TeamVoodoo makes titanium & various heavy metal shift knobs threaded for toyota and they are afordable.

No, that is not correct, FWD and RWD both use the same thread.

Like I said, it was years ago, and I've slept since then
