what do i have to do to get a greddy knob to fit

[makvli199]

I need to find a way that i can fit my new greddy shift knob. does anybody know a way its made for mazdas.

If it is made for mazdas, it won't fit the MP3 because well.. the MP3 is an oddball and has a different threading. I don't remember if the rod size is the same or not, but if it is just the threading you can get a tap and tap a new thread in the knob. I had to re-thread my Greddy knob and my TWM shifter when they got crossthreaded.

MP3 is m8x1.25 I believe. Other mazdas are normally M10x1.25.

 

[Kansei]

oh burn. That means you can't do anything to get the greddy knob to fit if it was made for the M10x1.25.

 

[makvli199]

well what about getting a short shifter

 

[Kansei]

Then you're all set. Just get a Kartboy, TWM, or B&M but one made for the Mazdaspeed Protege or Protege5, not the MP3. Then your knob will fit.

you can re-thread it if you want.

you can re-thread it if you want.

His MP3 shifter is an 8mm shaft, the greddy is threaded for "most mazdas" so it's a 10mm hole

 

[AznXstazy]

just get a msp shifter easier.

yeah......and.....

you fill it with liquid steel or something else and then re-thread it. doesn't take a genius.
