hey guys, im currently making a type-r shift **** (on the lathe) in one of my metals classes. I was just wondering if anyone knew the inside diamter and thread note to a stock shift **** on an ek. I just need to know what to tap it out to so it fits on a shifter. Thanx

Firstly, it's called a thread pitch, and diameter

and as a guess, it'll be an m12 X 2.5

thread note refers to the series. but thanx anyways

 

i thought honda shifter threads were tapered?

Nope, not that I know of.

 

well why do they always rattle around inside the shift *****?? even the thread on ones do, and it is kinda annoying

 

The reason they "rattle" is because the internal threads aren't the same size as the external threads. The internal threads, the ones inside the ****, are slightly bigger than the threads on the shift lever. The ones that are probably going to rattle more are the metal ones. The plastic ones can be made to a closer dimension so when you thread the **** on the shift lever it kind of cuts/forms the plastic to match closer so it doesn't rattle. If you were to try that one metal ***** it would just get stuck and not go on any further.

 

i agree, if you use too soft of a metal and such a close fit, theyll just strip.
