Does anyone know the pitch of the OEM shifter **** threads? I believe they are 10 mm, but I don't know the pitch - maybe 1.25mm? Also, does anyone know if the threads for a 2001 civic are the same as those in a 2000?

Thanks.

u might want to do the search =)

it's a universal size in nearly all generations of civic..

i forgot though........some other member definitely know about it..

I am using the same shiftknob with the same adapter from my 1996 GS-R to my 2004 Civic. This should give you an idea that they could be the same.

They are the same as the S2000 10 X 1.50 mm

Thanks alot, everyone. I'm in the process of making a translucent shift **** for my niece and since my **** design is much shorter than the stock unit, I may include a polished aluminum hex-spacer to cover the bare unthreaded shaft. If anyone would like to see what it looks like, check out this post in the Corvetteforum:

Looks great man! You do sweet work!

Thanks! Some near-future variations will include a 2.5-inch diameter ball **** (for large hands) and a larger Hurst-style ****. One guy at work has given me a small flag to embed in the resin. It should look unique in his Datsun Z.

Yeah, I am a bigger fan of the ball type shift *****. I use VooDoo shift ***** and love the feel. Show some pics when you get the Datsun done!

Bob,

What's the diameter of the VooDoo ****? Do you have any calipers so you can measure it? I know that the Hurst ball-***** are 2 and 1/4 inches in diameter, but I've heard that some manufacturer's ***** are only 2-inch.

Here are some links below. I have the S2000 **** with comes in a 1.8xxx sphere or a 2" sphere. I believe I bought the 2".

i want one too!!! but i dunno what color!!! the red one looks HOT.. but so does the blue

I can make red, blue, yellow, green, orange, purple, and any shade of these colors (although light-red ends-up looking pink). My plan is to install a few in coworkers Hondas for "Field Testing". If I get the thumbs-up, I'll post something in this forum.

Bob, I didn't realize it at first, but that second link contains a pretty good list of vehicles and their shift **** thread sizes. That'll save me alot of research time - thanks again!

If you are planing to sell shift *****, Make sure you pay for 7thgen vendor fees.

that would be cool if you could get one silverish in color

I will definitely look into it!

That is possible if I add some metallic powder to the mix. Gold and silver flakes are available; I just need to buy some to see how the combo looks - good suggestion!

i got the gunmetal skunk2 shift ****, and i love it. the nut on the bottom really holds the spacer nicely, but i cant get it to go really low

I saw a similar **** on a coworker's Civic a while ago and his **** had a nut underneath, too. I'm trying to get away from having to have a hexagonal locking device, primarily because it tends to take away from the looks. Picture a mirror-polished cylinder that is about 1.5-inches long under the ****. You can grab it with Channellock pliers and a strip of rubber (to protect the aluminum finish) when you lock it to the shift ****. I may also throw in some removable Loctite threadlocking liquid as an extra precaution.

hey.. is would it be too much to ask for a metal shaft down the middle to hide the threads?

I'm going to try this with hexagonal aluminum. However, there are some process difficulties to overcome. Let's say that I extend the hex rod from inside the **** and down to the shifter boot. The hex rod shape is great to prevent the **** from spinning on the rod, but if you normally hold the shifter so that some of your hand is below the bottom of the shift ****, the hex-shape may not feel comfortable.
Now if I just encapsulate a small length of hex rod and then use a round rod to lock up against the bottom of the shifter and extend down to the boot, the hex rod would have to be positioned exactly in the center of the bottom part of the ****. Otherwise, the round locking shaft would not be centered and would look pretty bad, once assembled.

It's alot easier to machine a threaded hole in the **** after the plastic **** has cured. When it is still liquid, positioning the hex rod on-center is tough because the mold is made of soft silicone.

Still, I'll give it a try and see how it turns out - good suggestion!

wow, very impressive. I would totally like a purple one. Something differen.t Definitely keep us updated!

 
Rep Power: 0

Thanks! I'll be pouring some more colors soon (and since two people have requested purple so far, one of the show-***** will be purple) and will drill and tap them to present a realistic image. An advantage that a Honda **** will have over one for a Corvette is that I will not have to thread the Honda's in as far. Therefore, more translucency will be visable.

No problem! I figured that would help.
