Hey all,

What on earth is the pitch/thread on the Jimny's gearstick? I bought a cusco poly gear knob in the mitsubishi/common jap car thread size of 12X1.25 and it's way too small for the jimmy thread. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Gavin

Buy a thread gauge, or if its cheaper buy a range of nuts to test

I have a B&M shift handle on mine, it screwed straight on. Listing for it say it's 1/2in-20

If the jimny shift knob is imperial I'll eat my hat.

My Sierra and Vitara are both M12x1.25

Every listing for B&M handles shows it as this size. I was surprised that it just threaded straight on. But yeah I agree that it seems ridiculously unlikely.

Some metric and UNC/Whit threads are very close up-to and including 1/2"

Update - the size is definitely 1/2in-20.

Bought a BM plastic ball shifter and fit straight on. Thanks!

As Tony said, 1/2-20 is very close to 12mm x 1.25

But smaller ;)

1/2" is closer to 13mm

Post subject:  Re: Jimny gear knob thread?
I said 12mm x 1.25, as a 12mm x 1.25 bolt fits into a 1/2-20 nut without binding.

But i hope its imperial.
I kinda want to see Steve eat his hat.

Yeah I was meaning that OP said in his original post that "12X1.25 and it's way too small for the jimmy thread"

And yes I'd like to see Steve eat his hat too.

There's no delicious hat being consumed as yet. 100% That gear lever thread is metric.

Steve.

Post subject:  Re: Jimny gear knob thread?
Well add something to the thread by finding a metric thread that is virtually the same as 1/2in-20 so that you don't have to destroy a perfectly good hat ;)

every time i see it i still think this is a tread about gear-nobs.

has the OP checked to see if the Nob he got sold is actually 12mm x 1.25? :?

Have any of the Jimny owners properly measured?

FKNLOL :lol:

Thought it was common knowledge that the only non metric threads on a jap car are the seatbelt bolts. :wink:

No, It was a Cusco knob (all instructions in nihongu) and had no measurements on its packaging. It's highly likely that the seller did send me the wrong size though. 1/2 inch will definitely fit without problems for what it's worth though.
