I just got a new Maxima, so I'm entitled my one newb question

I have been looking at shift ***** for the car since the stock one is sort of ratty and needs replaced. I have a B&M short shifter I'll be putting on, and I understand it has the same 10x1.25mm thread pitch as the factory shifter. The ONE shift **** I want more than any other one made is the Blox/Skunk2 billet shift **** made for Hondas. It ONLY comes in a 10x1.5mm thread pitch, however.

Has anyone ever seen one like this for the Maxima? I mean one JUST like it, as in genuinely carved from a block of billet and is bare metal, not painted. I can't find one with the proper thread pitch to save my life. I am willing to buy one of these genuine ones, however, if I am convinced enough that I can re-thread it to fit on the Maxima's 10x1.25mm thread pitch shifter. Thoughts anyone?

An example of said ****:

Easiest thing to do would be to drill out the **** and helicoil it. That, or just drill out the threads, drill and thread a small hole in the side, and use a set screw (makes it universal, too).

EDIT: Wait, like these two?

The first one is exactly what I want, actually. Skunk2's website doesn't even list that **** with that thread At first I thought maybe the website had the pitch wrong but it says "Nissan" right in the description farther down. Sweet...now I can get exactly what I want

Thanks oh web host of mine

 

Haha, that's a nice looking shift **** man, another reason why, as soon as I get the money 5spd swap...

 

I want it because I've used one before on a 6-speed TSX. It's a GREAT **** that's weighted perfectly and it sits in your hand JUST right. Doesn't look too bad either

 

that shifter noob looks nice pictures please after you get one

 

The set screw is what my momo used. I put my old AE shift ****, on my ford ranger, just re-threaded the shifter itself!

 

So I'm looking into buying this shift **** finally. Does anyone know if the B&M short shifter uses the same thread as the stock shifter? I would assume it does. I just want to make sure because I will be putting that short shifter on in the spring and I want to be able to just keep the ****.

 

yea the B&M uses the same thread pattern as the stock shifter rod. Good luck and post pics when you are done. My friend has that **** on his boosted accord and by far the best feeling **** on the market. It shifts perfectly with the STS and banging gears was great hehehe j/k

 

Thanks for the input. I actually delayed it slightly due to other priorities with the car, but now I have the knowledge.
