LoneStarS30Z Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Can any of you guys confirm what the correct thread and pitch is for the Borg Warner T5 transmission that came in the late S130's? Looking to purchase a fancy shift knob and need to get the thread size right the first time, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarS30Z Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Thanks for the work, appreciate the info. I looked up the thread about shift knobs you're selling, they look great but unfortunately I'm required to have the H-Shift pattern on the knob by the country I'm shipping the car to.

I leave from Korea in about 3 weeks and head back to the States for a month off. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 where in korea? as a thought, if it were my z i'd consider a cool shift knob [there are many out there to choose from] then put an 'h' decal on top. you may know but i have the emblem decals i've made and could have my vinyl guy make an 'h' decal [or a few] if you'd like. quick, easy and inexpensive. peel it after the inspection...fwiw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoneStarS30Z Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 Osan, finishing up my year tour out here. Been an interesting time, got to do some quality travelling, but I'm ready to get the hell out of here. I actually order a knob that had the H-pattern engraved on top, plus its super heavy at 600 grams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonethirty Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Weird. My zxt had a shift knob with an 8mm thread on it when i switched to my B&M. Now Im wondering what was on there.. Also check out product_innovations_llc on ebay. They make delrin shift knobs that are awesome. Great price, comfortable feeling and they dont get super hot or cold with the weather. They also make aluminum hard bar shift knobs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well from what I've learned today, only the 82-83 turbo ZX's got the T5's with the M12x1.75 thread, all the others were a different transmission with like a M8x1.25 thread. I've already ordered, but I'll take a look anyways! Not too worried about too hot or cold, I have driving gloves I use in cold weather, and when it's blazing hot I just drape the glove over the knob.
