VR6 Gear lever thread
« on: 12 September 2011, 07:18 »
Hi,

I'm hopefully going to get a VR6 on Tuesday but the car has the original wooden gear knob which I hate.
Can anyone tell me what size the thread is ? is it an M10 or perhaps M12 ?

Cheers

Baz :smiley:

It's an m12 but a fine pitch IIRC. Not normal m12x1.5 but m12x1

They can be made to fit by drilling the core out deeper and putting a small clip around the blue plastic base but obviously they're not direct fit.

I've got the gear knob from the mk4 golf, do I have to drill it then to make it fit the VR6 ?
