Shift Knobs For 06?

GTX Builder · Jan 23, 2006

Notice that several shift knobs offered on Mustang sites don't fit 06's. Saw a Sparco Shift knob I really liked but don't know if it will fit. Can anybody refer me to some cools sites that carry knobs that willl fit an 06.

Have the MGW gripper knob and Saleen short shift kit, vast improvement over stock. Nice thing about the MGW knob is it comes with a special adapter to hold the shift boot up.

Do these sites you're refering to specifically say they WON'T fit the '06? Or do they only list the '05 as what the knob fits?

Most places are too lazy to update their information.

The stock shifter handle thread size is 12Mx1.25

I have one from MRT - http://mrt-direct.com/2005/Pages/shiftballs05.php

That's incorrect. 1979-2004 was M12x1.75 (not 1.25).

2005 and 2006 are 1/2-20.

Stangnut --

www.monsterknobs.com says Item #002 fits 2005+, meaning 2005 and 2006.

That's what I originally thought too. Then I went to Lowe's with the jam nut that came with my MRT shift knob, and using their test thread thingies they have by the nuts & bolts, it fit perfectly on the M12x1.25. A 1/2-20 will work, but it's not a perfect fit. And you're correct about the '79-'04 thread pattern being M12x1.75 But then again, I could be completely wrong about everything

Vader GT · Feb 9, 2006

I have confirmed (through two independent sources) that Dave is correct.

The 2005+ thread size is M12x1.25.

Although 1/2-20 is very, very close ... and a Google search for 2005 Mustang shift thread size will turn up more than one post saying the size is 1/2-20.

Stands to reason the correct size is metric ... the old size (M12x1.75) was also metric.

And the 2005 knob was "borrowed" from the European Focus wagon. Again, makes sense that a euro-market part is metric.

Thanks for the info, Dave!

Aw shucks man, I feel vindicated Thanks for the props mate!

I can tell you, 100%, our knobs are 12mm x 1.25mm. Here is a guy, that has a few custom knobs for sale:

Bump from the past, as I was searching for info on shift knob threads.

Just FYI, Subaru shift knob threads are also 12 x 1.25. The STi has a reverse lockout ring on the bottom, but the rest are just straight thread-on. Stock ones have a provision for the boot. Good for me, as I can just move my old Delrin knob to the new car.

Kartboy.com and others have threaded shift knobs for Subarus.

I have the Plain Polished UPR Round Shift Knob and really like it. Very solid piece and easy to shift with. It does get very cold at this time of year but I don’t drive the car much right now.

I had the MGW knob too, and liked it very much.
Felt very nice.
If I wouldn't have made a custom Seahawks billard ball knob I'd still be using it.

Shift Knob

I guess I'm weird, I like the factory knob. This is the first factory knob I didn't want to replace.

This comes with the correct insert, unlike the one Jegs sells. This is the pistol grip handle. I have this on my 06 Stang.
