I’m hoping someone here knows what the thread size is for the 3.6 manual gear knob? I’m wanting to remove it and replace but don’t want to be stuck with a knob that’ll be getting no use (already got one of those)

  Why not unscrew it and measure it .?

  Hi Bob Flint
  
  I’m going to guess it’s a metric thread, but how do you measure it – is it the diameter of the bolt, but how do you determine the thread type, or is there only on pitch (or whatever thread coarseness is measured in).

  Mark Thorley I seem to remember being told that the original gear knob on our cars is a really heavy one, for the specific reason of stopping the whole gear lever from vibrating

  take it off and try different bolts ,even go to your local nut & bolt supplier then you will know what fit it is.

  Sorry to read about the ‘no use’ one, join the club. At least we have our lovely cats to compensate!
