Gear stick thread - what is it?
Hello All and Happy New Year!
Simple question - what is the manual gear stick knob thread for 460? It's not standard. Plan to make an extension, as getting older the current design for orang-utans is not suitable for folks with normal arm lengths.
Cheers,
Stewart
I thought you might get a reply by now. Are you sure thats not a standard thread. Something like a M10
I got a spare gear knob and tried...I found a bolt which, with force, would do it, and then couldn't tell the size! Its a standard clockwise screw though.
Take to a hardward store, if not sorted already, and try a few.
Hi
Tried to respond a few times but kept getting redirected to some domain name page
Anyway
It will be M10 fine so probably M10 X 1.25MM thread pitch
Standard is 1,50MM pitch
I should have something suitable... will whatspp you!
Ah-ha, now that makes sense. Fine thread, excuse my ignorance :)

Hi - thank you for responding. I thought it would be standard (good ol' German engineering), but nope, thread to fine for M10 (and did try, both nut and bolt parts). Interestingly 3/8ths 24 TPI bolt worked in gear knob, but the nut did not fit the gear stork! Am assuming metric, so what else...
Do plan to take to fastener suppliers, but was hoping somebody here would now so I could at least sound knowledgeable!
Cheers
