s4 shift knobs?
 

So my s4 came with an aftermarket shift knob with a fake CF trim, and im slowly getting sick of it. i was gonna get a short shifter and another knob, but corksport ran out of short shifters so ill do that later. anybody know what cars share the same 12x1.5 thread pattern as the early s4s? or at least any aftermarket shift knobs that come this way? and if "universal" knobs will still work such as momo and razo and what not. ive searched, but im probably not searching with the right terms, all i find is lug nut thread patterns and complaints, but no list of options. anyone got some info?

RX-8 knob always a GREAT choice and aren't expensive.

^ No, it looks fugly in an FC IMO. And its not usable on a S4 shifter.

OP: I have never seen a list of knobs that work for a S4 either. You will just have to search around for knobs that you like and hope they come in the threadpitch you need.

You could use a stock S5 shifter as well, that will give you the 12 x 1.25 (I think) that is more common. Then you can use the RX8 knob if you want.

i remember reading somewhere that certain hondas and vw's share this thread pattern but im not completely sure if it was right. im hoping someone out here remembers.

OP if you find out, post the list! then maybe it can get archived :)

I just jammed my RX-8 knob on to my shifter and no chance its coming off. IMO rx-8 is great for stock or short shifters(ive used them on both) they look good and are cheap. Rx-8 knob Don't look fugly in anything IMHO!

S5 thread pitch is 10 x 1.25.
S4 is 12 x 1.50.

i have 3 or 4 s4 shift knobs lying around if you just want a stock one

I've seen some that come with inserts.

I bought a Voodoo knob (solid aluminum), and drilled and tapped it for S4 thread. Worked great!

I bought the specific drill bit and tap just for this purpose, and wouldn't ever need it again, so I sold it to someone else on an RX-7 forum for the exact same purpose.

I have never seen a list of S4 knobs, one of the reasons I switched to an S5 was so I could use my knobmeister knob. If you really want one that fits (I don't like universal ones) you could get one custom-made, but they are pricey. I tried a quick google and found this guy, they run ~$80-100 and I'd make sure to let him know the thread pitch since S4 is different from most other Mazdas. http://www.lathewerks.com

Edit: Actually I have seen one knob that fits S4 shifters. http://www.knobmeister.com/page14.ph...=92&category=1 A wooden knob in an FC would look odd though.

it seems that most audi's and vw's have the same shift knob thread pattern, but there arent that many aftermarket shifters for them... im gonna see if my friend who works at a junkyard can find me an audi or vw shifter and see how that looks.

Hi Guys,

I have a Mazdatrix S4 Short Shift Kit and have spent a considerable amount of time looking for a M12xP1.5 shift knob that will fit the S4.

I have finally found a decent quality and decent looking shift knob that comes in a universal M12 pattern, as in it has a screw in adaptor for both M12xP1.25 and M12xP1.5.

It is the Moonface Racing (MFR) Aluminum Shift Knob.

I just ordered mine from RHD Japan.

i like it

so i can just change out the s4 to s5 shifter to have the 10x1.25 thread?

^ i believe so

Most Audi's have the same 12x1.5 as the S4. I have a MazdaRacing short shifter which has the S4 thread pitch. I went through trying to find a knob for mine a couple years ago and ended up getting mine from RTM Racing for about $60 shipped... https://www.rtmracing.com/xcart/home.php?cat=446

I have a S4 shifter also I'm going to have to pay closer attention to Audi's and VW's when I go to the junkyard.

I have a Razo right now. You just have to use the right sized insert and it threads right on.

I make mine out of what ever I can find that feels right. I made one out of a door knob and recently I made one for my vert out of a bicycle stunt peg.

Got a pic of the door knob shift knob. lol.. Thats awesome!

I been thinking about gettin that knob how did it work out for u were u able to fit it on ur s4 shifter ????
