Hi- As stated in the auction, this is threaded for Honda/Acura only. They are not universal and this WILL NOT FIT YOUR CAR without being tapped and re-threaded. Your car takes an SAE 9/16" - 18 threaded ****/ball. Both the Hurst and B&M shifters for C-4's are threaded SAE 9/16" - 18..................

B&M also has a "universal" white **** that will work on their ripper. That's if white is your thing...
P.S. Remember, B&M and Hurst are now the same company......SAE 9/16" - 18 is what you're looking for.

Maybe a tad bigger and, of course, a different shape.

Here's a pic of my Hurst **** on my B&M:

It is significantly bigger....in the American style.

I love the Hurst ****...one of the best mods you can have on an M6 (right after the CAGS delete). Compared to the Hurst ****, the stock one feels like it was made for a girl's hand. Seriously.

Even though it's a C5 logo, I have this one which is sold by my least favorite vette retailer, Ecklers....
