Default Shift **** threading

Ours are 10x1.25
Toyota's are 12x1.25

the dilemma:
GReddy makes a really nice shift **** in the 10x1.25 size (for us) - that has a 5-gear printout on top of the ****.

GReddy makes the same shift **** in the 12x1.25 size (for supras) - that has the 6-gear printout on top of the ****.

So...what do the 10 and the 12 represent? depth? and the 1.25 is the pitch? If so, doesn't that mean that a 12mmx1.25 **** will still thread onto our shifters, and just leave 2mm of extra space? If so, that extra space wouldn't be visible anyway.

If this is incorrect let me know, otherwise i'm ordering the supra ****.

thanks

12mm is the diameter, 1.25mm is the pitch. The **** will not fit unless you can find a Helicoil with the correct sizes to reduce the diameter.

the diamond-shaped one, polished with the top insert. the counterweighted GReddy's have the same threadings available, meaning GReddy does not make a 6-speed **** in our thread size.

Looks like greddy makes one for 350Z with 6 speed labeling. Now just tell him where you bought it and another mystery solved.
