Shift knob suggestions (3rd Gen - manual transmission) - Toyota Yaris Forums

nookandcrannycar · 08-20-2014, 12:19 AM

I decided quite a while ago that a new Yaris would be silver or white. If I'd purchased a white Yaris, I would've ordered the same shift knob tooter has (

that shift knob). I need to go down a different road having purchased a silver Yaris. The only other shift knob that I remember at all is the one mr_miles has, but (although his looks great) I'm not planning on changing the steering wheel. I wonder if that shift knob would look 'orphaned' (

) without that wheel. Other planned mods for the 2014: tinting, Clazzio seat covers, cruise control kit (ordered during my trip back from Florida, and it arrived yesterday (the first mail date after my return)

Thanks, Scott!), a car cover specifically for the 2014 Yaris (I bought a $22 one at Wal-Mart to use in the interim), and probably my JL Audio 300/4 amp and the same (but new unused additional ones I have) speakers I used with that amp in a previous application.

Which one of my shift knobs are you referring to? I have so many it gets difficult lol. the only one I can think of that goes with my wheel is the OD green knob I got from still hood.... What style\shape of knob do you like? I'd be glad to help you find one :3

I thought you had one that 'to a camera's eye', looked like your steering wheel (obviously not in shape or function). My bad. I really like the one tooter has...round +white (like a cue ball) with black lettering....I think it is a replica of the one Hurst made decades ago. However, I wonder if that style would only look good with that classic color combination of white with black lettering (which might look out of place with my silver w/black + 'grey' interior). Something similar, with colors more appropriate to the color combo I ended up getting would be ideal. Also other shaped (not round) knobs that look like your steering wheel might be good, even though I plan to keep the stock steering wheel.

I ended up with an OEM one with a chrome trim ring and grey pleather: http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...75&postcount=9

From the pic, I like that look. I'll see if one of my local Toyota dealers has it.

Great idea! Will require more time/steps to make usable, but definitely will be fun to do in the future!

Delrin Type R from MicroImage? If mine was a five speed, I'd of gotten one.

Just bought this one:

Screw off the old boring one, screw on the new nicer one. Done. No adapters, direct fit, direct bolt on.

Nice, I think that's the same one I have. You got a great deal on it, too!

I thought so too, but when I tried to copy the picture in order to zoom better, I got 'blank white' with a red 'sold' banner across the 'blank white' box.
