Looking for ideas for a new shift knob #73658 Dec 27, 12:50am Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 6 CA Jt710 New Member 2000 Toyota Celica Jt710 New Member 2000 Toyota Celica Joined: Aug 2003 Posts: 6 CA I'm looking for a new shift knob, preferably with a metallic look with any sort of red trim and has the 6-shift diagram on it. Also, how do I know if it's going to fit (threadsize, etc.)? Anyone got any good suggestions? Thanks. Last edited by Jt710; Dec 27, 2003 12:51am.

I had a metallic shift knob that use to burn my hand after letting my car sit in the sun for more than a few hours. Trust me the metal ones get HOT.

You could get a trd leather knob and dye it red.
