Hey all. I have been looking for a teardrop style shift knob, preferably aluminum. I have searched far and wide for a shift knob with an M16 x 1.5 thread pitch to no avail. A lot of the online manufacturers also do not list the thread pitch of their products, which I find particularly frustrating. Any luck finding shift knobs for your niche thread size? (also I have taken a look at the gaudy stuff on summit racing, no thanks). ---

Telling what this vehicle is might help someone locate a knob for you. ---

Its a 2002 honda civic lx, but its an automatic so no original thread pitch. I have the “sickspeed” automatic shift knob adapter installed with a top end thread pitch of M16 x 1.5 . ---

Have you considered machining your own shift knob on a lathe . . . ? ---

Well maybe a 3d printer could do what you want but there are shops that have lathes and people that can use them but of course not free. Sometimes when wish meet cost, things change.
