Review: Perfect fit for mustang - Bought for my 2011 Mustang GT, worked perfect paired with my RTR shift knob. This is also threaded on a MGW short shifter. Well worth the money. Quality was perfect Review: Perfect for 2005 Tacoma - Looks clean and fits perfect!! This fit perfect on my 2005 Toyota Tacoma. I ordered a TRD shift knob and it came with a tightening nut that I did not want to use because it wouldn’t have looked so clean. This thing screwed right into the shift rod and allowed me tighten the shift knob without using the provided nut. Please see photo for it. The item appears to be made of metal and seems very durable. Installation was easy. Removed the old boot plastic ring retainer and wrapped the end of boot around the indent on this adapter (as seen in photos) and then used a small zip tie to secure it. Installed in 5 minutes ## Features - Thread pitch M12*1.25 - Fit for most Manual Subaru Impreza , Susuki Samurai ,Toyota Supra 1993 -98 (JZ) ,Toyota MR2 1991-95 (SW20),Toyota Corrola,Toyota Celica-Tercel,Toyota Camry,Toyota Trucks,Geo tracker,Ford Mustang (Newer manual),Skyline (R34),Scion xA xB and tC(excluding Scion tC and xB 2008) etc - Made from aircraft grade billet aluminum - Takes up the space between the bottom of your shift knob and the top of your shift boot for a nice aesthetically pleasing affect.
