I believe the S5 threads are 12x1.25, and the s4 is 12x1.5, I dont think I will be able to re-tap my S4 knob will I?



Can I use my S4 N/A shifter on a S5 TII transmission?

In this post there seems to be a good explanation.



When I was looking for a new knob (for my S4-threaded short shifter), I noticed there are a whole bunch for the S5 thread, but I could find none for the S4 thread. It shouldn't be difficult to find a knob that fits (unless you're dead set on having a stock knob).

I already have a voodoo knob thats engraved, its S4 N/A, im going S5 TII transmission and dont know what to do with the knob



I looked through that thread, there was one guy who says he has been interchanging them for quite some time now, I was hoping he would chime in again

ive had both and ive put a s4 shifter in an s5 both were na's they both fit just the s5's is shorter i belive

im going from s4 n/a-s5 TII

Yes the threads on the knobs between S4 and S5 are different. It's been awhile since I have threaded any and can't remember exactly what the threads are.

The S4 and S5 shifters are pretty much the same length.

If you can't rework your custom knob; swap the whole shifter.

thats what I wanted to know, if I could swap the whole shifter or not

S5 is the odd ball. The S4 and FD are the same.

you mean the threads, or the whole shifter?

just the thread size. But seriously, its not the size of the shifter that counts, its how you use it.
