Re: messed up the threading on my short shifter (allmighty2door)
you will need a 10mm die. 3\8 is standard while the 10 mm is metric. They are different.
I picked up a single die from napa and used a big ol' wrench to turn it on and rethread the top of a short throw.
You can probably pick up a whole tap and die set from any hardware store for maybe $30-50? good luck.

the one on my b&m was standard. it was 3/8". i assume the stock shifter would be metric like everything else on the car though.
