Don't know the thread size offhand but you can probably remove the console and pull the shifter to take to a home supply store to match with a metric nut.

Machining your own shift **** is an interesting idea. What material would you consider using? Some owners state that an all-metallic **** sometimes gets pretty warm in the summertime so you might have to throw a sock over the shift **** or use a sun shade if you park outdoors.

12x1.25, same as the lug nuts.

I wish I'd seen your post before I went out to lunch. On my way home I stopped by a Lowe's home center...

That's my OEM WRX shift lever pictured with the metric nut packaging.

thanks for the help. Im going to use aluminum. i am hoping to put an engine starter button in the **** with a flip cover. i still need to find a button that is small enough to fit in.
