'05 GT Hatchback shift knob

[sleepergt]

Does anyone know how to remove the shift knob on an '95 Hatchback. and what kind of shift knob would fit on as a replacement.

[evan938]

twist it?

[KeWLKaT]

LOL

Just twist it off in a counter-clockwise direction.

Anything with a 10mm thread will work.

[evan938]

10x1.25 to be exact (i believe)

[KeWLKaT]

yeah, 1.25mm is the depth of the thread itself, but it shouldn't be a problem.

I Meant To Say '05 And Not A '95.
It Would Still Be The Same Right?

[evan938]

yeah, we know what you mean. i thought the 1.25 was the pitch of the threads. nevermind then

It is the pitch, might be the depth or lenght of the threads to don't know.

[KeWLKaT]

lol and i thought it was the depth.

it might be the pitch. who knows...... somebody feel like measuring?

In metric 10x1.25 means 10mm external diameter and 1.25mm between each tread.

1/4-20 UNC mean 1/4 external diam and 20 treads per inch

Being a machinist, the above reply from YBKewl is correct. You can find approximate thread depth using 0.6495 x pitch (which is 1.25mm). For a M10x1.25 thread, depth is 0.812mm. If you were to cut that exact thread on a lathe, that's the depth you'd use.

By the way, the "0.6495" works with both metric and SAE threads, as long as it's standard UNC or UNF 60° thread. Just remember that with SAE threads, the actual pitch is 1/threads per inch, where with metric threads, the pitch is directly used.

Damn I wish I had a lathe at home...
