SIZE does matter
what's up guys? this might be a crazy question, but here goes. Can anybody please tell me what the TREAD SIZE is on the GEAR SHIFT **** for a 4-speed 1980 vette, stock tranny I'm thinkin maybe I like to try a T-HANDLE,but the problem being, is there are to many options and way to many tread sizes;and I need a starting point.A friend has a machine shop to tweek if needed,but I have to start somewhere. Is there a T-handle made that will fit right out of the store? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP FREDDIE!!!!!!!!

I've worked with cars a long time, never heard bolt or nut size referred to as "tread", must be some sort of street slang I'm not familiar with..............I figured the poster was just slow

It seems that Summit carries the Hurst T-Handle in various sizes... I'm sure others do as well.

My Hurst T-Handle from the parts store came with a pack of thread adapters. Only one would fit onto the shifter, then just screw the handle on.
