e30 shifter thread pitch?

[Erick]

Self-explanatory. A friend is going to CNC shifters and he said he could make some for e30s if I could provide him with that info. Anyone has the measurement handy?

Thanks,

threads? huh?

[Erick]

The width of the shifter where the shift knob goes? I dunno I'm using his words to ask that.

Edit: What is the measure of the part highlighted in red

[Rob]

pull off your shift knob, and measure? I dont have one handy

[Erick]

Dude, that's 3 floors down... not to mention I have to find the key to the godforsaken garage that my car has been locked in for the last 2 months.

steel for a knob?...hey its your opinion but.....



delrin is really a nice material ,even titatnium or alum. Are we talking about the same thing here?..........

[KenC]

Steel for weight/momentum when shifting... UUC makes some baller steel knobs

[Erick]

That's great and all... but anyone has the thread pitch? Maybe the ETK has it? I dont have it on my new PC.

There are no threads on the shift lever. They all pop on.

The thread pitch is the distance between threads.

No threads = no pitch.

[Erick]

Right on... I was confused as of what exactly was the thread pitch. Thanks.
