    The Kartboy threads are the same as the stock threads. Any shift knob that works on a WRX will work on the KB.

    Holy thread resurrection...

    The threads are 12mmx1.25. If that sounds strangely familiar, it happens to be the same exact measurement as your wheel studs. So, if you got a real bee in your bonnet, you could use a fancy lug nut as your shifter knob (ouch) or 20 Kartboy shift knobs as your lug nuts (they'd be pretty tough to torque down, though).

    On the plus side, you can put a spare lug nut on your Kartboy short shifter to protect the top threads while installing it in an overly exuberant manner.

    I had the same thought! Maybe go with the Flaming Skull shift knob? :laugh:
