TRD leather shift knob group buy, Already setup for those ready to pay Options

[GotToyota]

I setup a group buy awhile back in 2007 that was for the TRD leather shift knob, and it's still going on, so I thought I'd let you guys in on it as well (I started it up on a Supra forum I post at). It is for this knob here:



I just got one myself, and I must say that it's awesome. The knob is heavy, and it conforms nicely to your hand. If you want one, send a Paypal payment of $69.50 to Ironhead Toyota at Toyotaparts@irontoad.com, and under misc. notes put "TRD shift knob group buy, part #: PTR04-00000-05". Hope some of you guys will take advantage of this.

Here is what the knob looks like installed:

Yep, good price.

No link, I sent an email to this guy after he had one for sale on Ebay, and he allowed me to do this group buy.

[stetsonaw]

so if i don't receive my shift knob, i get to take it out on you?

[purplegt4]

that price is shipped?

[GotToyota]

payment sent.

[Batman722]

it looks out of place.

[snapshotgt]

it looks out of place.

That's because of his boot. Mine:



Seen here at a distance:

[Batman722]

better.
too tall for me. I'm one of the only guys that actually dig the stock shifter knob.

[lubu]

Same price to australia?

[GotToyota]

Yeah, I need to get the ring for my shift boot, otherwise it would look much better.

[Athorn]

How long did yours take to ship?

[GotToyota]

How long did yours take to ship?

About 4 days.

[whatthe]

Same price to australia?

yes i would also like the know the same thing, is it the same cost to get it shipped to Australia?

[DEATH]

Another thing to note - this knob also shortens the height of the shifter assembly by a descent amount as the threads are very high up in the knob so if you don't want a short shifter this will give the illusion of a shorter throw [Also if you already have one of those rediculously short shifters you may need to be advised that you might be reaching into the shifter bezil with this knob ]

I just received an email from Toyota that the price of this knob has gone up, but they said we could still buy them for $69.50 shipped. For those that paid before hand, I'm guessing you'll be receiving yours for what you paid.

[Athorn]

Is there any way you can send an email to him asking if he got me and stetsonaw payment> My paypal is jcthorn@yahoo.com

[stetsonaw]

i got an email from them stating that they received my payment. thanks for looking out for me JC... it's funny though, they asked me to forward them my shipping info, all they had to do is scroll down to find it on the paypal receipt...

[GTSOwner]

Shipping to Montreal is included?

It does go high up into the knob, but still the knob is taller than typical. Also, i have a short throw with no issues of hitting my hand.

No - me too [TRD] I just meant for the guys with the off brand ebay 2" throws LOL.

[GotToyota]

Just to clarify, if you sent your payment before today (August 13th), you're in the clear as far as pricing goes. From here on, the price is $69.50.

[Athorn]

If you contact him again can you ask him if he recied mine...my paypal is jcthorn@yahoo.com.. i emailed him but he never responded.

[Cutrara]

This is a good price... I paid ~$75 last month. I have a 7th gen short shifter, it looks awesome... I'll try to post some pics soon. The TRD knob feels better in my hand compared to the stock knob cause I have big hands and theres more to the TRD Knob.

Anyone know what that ring is called? Can I get one from Toyota?

[Athorn]

[stetsonaw]

[GotToyota]

I'm wondering the same thing. Give us an update when you receive yours!

[stetsonaw]

[Athorn]

Anyone get theres yet. I was hopeing i would get it today but no luck.

[Athorn]

I still have not gotten mine.... I am starting to wondar if this was a bad idea.

[stetsonaw]

[GotToyota]

[Badkarma]

[GotToyota]

Glad to see you guys got yours!

[Athorn]

Still no shift knob today. Is there any way you can email this guy. I asked you to before to make sure he got it. There is no reason i should not have gotten it by now.

[Athorn]

Ok....i guess i dont get an answer.

[stetsonaw]

be patient man, i was the first to order, maybe it took another day or two for your to get mailed.

[Athorn]

No shift knob today.

[Athorn]

still no shift knob.

[GotToyota]

I sent them an email, and I also sent you a PM with contact info.

I'm sorry that it's taking so long for you to get yours. It also may be backordered. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

[Coligion]

I can't really tell from the pictures, but does the top of the knob show all the gear numbers?

[stetsonaw]

yes it does.

[Athorn]

Got a reply from the comapny ..i guess they never procesed my order so it was shipped today.

[GotToyota]

See, all fixed now! I knew there was a mix up, it would've never taken that long if they had actually had your order. Glad to you see you it figured out.

[stetsonaw]

sorry you had trouble JC.

[Athorn]

Sorry if i was bugging you alot about it gottoyota i just found it hard to belive that someone from japan got it before me lol.

[Athorn]

i just got it but i cant screw it on... it doesent look like there is even grooves in it...some help plz.

[GotToyota]

You just aren't having any luck, are you?

There are threads, they're just deeper than the stock knob is. I doubt Toyota would send you the wrong knob.

[Athorn]

Do i have to adjust anything on the shifter because it wont screw on at all.

[stetsonaw]

should just unscrew the stock shifter, then screw that one on. do you have a non stock shifter? i have a 7th gen short and it fits just fine.

[Athorn]

Nope i have a stock.. From what i can see there are no threads. UGH.

[Athorn]

i called ab out 20 times fri and aterday but no answer..maybe they took an early vacation..ill try again tomorow.

[GotToyota]

Any luck getting a hold of them?

Has anyone else ordered a knob?

[Athorn]

Yep....turns out i am an idiot lol...well whats new. I couldnt screw it on because the piece that holds up the shift boot was stuck in place i just had to push that down. Thanks for the help gottoyota..I swear you must think i am helpless.

[stetsonaw]

glad you got it on man, how ya likin it?

[GotToyota]

Haha, it's no problem JC, just glad to see that you got it working. Like Stet said, how do you like it?

[Athorn]

It feels a million times better. It really upgrades the look of the interior too. I will try and get some pics tommorow.

[Cutrara]

Heres the pic I promised ya'll earlier (7GC SS + TRD Knob):

[Driveby]

Is this still running and does it include shipping to the UK?

[GotToyota]

It's still going on. One member had his shipped to Japan and he didn't have to pay any extra, so you should be good.

[Silvan]

With the 7th gen shortshifter, I found that the handbrake is in the way when shifting to first and second gear. How does it feel with this knob, being it a bit taller than stock?

[stetsonaw]

same boat with the shortshifter, it helps a lot.

[GotToyota]

Bump up for the knob!

[geetje]

I'm interested in the shift knob. Is it still running and how much is shipping to The Netherlands?

[Akirad1]

i actually talked to Matt about this a few weeks ago, and he said to just contact this guy for prices and availibilty.

I just got one myself, and I must say that it's awesome. The knob is heavy, and it conforms nicely to your hand. If you want one, send a Paypal payment of $69.50 to Ironhead Toyota at Toyotaparts@irontoad.com, and under misc. notes put "TRD shift knob group buy, part #: PTR04-00000-05".

[whatthe]

^ for the trd shifter knob is it shorter than a stock knob when its on? cause in pics of the knob and when its on then shifter it looks taller than my stock knob.

[trdproven]

TRD shifter grooves are all the way in the top. The threads are not at the opening of the knob.

[Smaay]

can you still get these?

[Akirad1]

from what Gottoyota was tellin me yes but you will have to contact the person who sells them above
