Just got a used ‘16 6 speed tacoma and i was wondering if anyone with a manual has replaced the shifter knob? Where did you find yours, what kind and how do you get the boot to attach. Anything helps THANKS
Hey Foster Imposter, how long did it take you to install that shifter and the difficulty level from 1 to 10.View attachment 30194
Welcome! I replaced my entire shifter with the Core shift assembly, but if you just want a knob, there are lots on amazon and ebay as Scott mentioned.
Depending on which one you go with you will probably need an adapter for the threads on the stock Toyota shaft. The adapter for a Mustang, I think, actually fits.
The boot just attaches to the shaft with a zip tie on the under side.
Very nice Foster!View attachment 30194

That's what she said not much difference in shifter shaft height! LOL !! Can the grommet idea work for an automatic as well it looks like a similar boot ?Some info: https://core-shifters.com/collections/shifters-for-toyota-tacoma
The install takes a few hours, more tedious than difficult...there are a few install videos on youtube.
A few folks claim it only takes an hour or so but my hands are too big to fit well in the small spaces. If you have small hands or know someone that does it would be helpful.
There is not much difference in shaft height than factory but the shift throws are shorter, more positive feeling and crisper...very satisfying.
This may not be for everyone because there's a slight more noise (transmission) . Doesn't bother me in the least. I consider it the favorite mod I've done to my truck.
LOL, anytime you mention shafts or knobs around here you're leaving yourself open!That's what she said not much difference in shifter shaft height! LOL !! Can the grommet idea work for an automatic as well it looks like a similar boot ?
