fc5s shift **** to a fc3s...didnt work
hey guys,
so i wanted to change the shift **** of the '89 GTU cause its was more than peeling of and looking bad, to a '87 series shift ****.
unfortunate they don't swap directly cause the '89 GTU is smaller.
any ideas on how i can get my '87 **** on the '89 GTU shifter without changing the whole shifter???
do they sell something to make smaller thread pattern to big an adapter or something
thanks
sorry for the poor cam quality
orginal fc5s shift **** thread which is smaller
fc3s shift **** thread bigger

About seven hundred fifty three wraps, give or take, will do the trick.
As others have stated, your only other option would be to find an fc4s transmission. Good luck! You are on the right track.

Come On people!..
the Series 4 shifter has a Bigger thread(12x1.5).The Series 5(S5) has a small thread.(12x1.25)
the Best Solution is to just find a S4 Shifter,.The WHOLE shifter..with the **** on it..
Don't do it Half-assed and adapt it,.It doesn't make sense..unnecessary work.(adapter would need to be metric.and I haven't seen one.)
The Physical characteristics of the Shifters are the same,so it won't really feel different IN the Transmission,it will only Feel 'different" in your Hand.(different style ****).
