Well, I am stuck.

I have not been able to find out what the Gear **** thread size is, so I'll ask again, in the hope somebody does....

does any body know for sure what the size is, UK MY00 Impreza.

Thanks in advance.

I'll reply again......definite info this time.....

It's a 12mm thread with a pitch of 1.25mm, same as your wheel nuts.....

Metric threads can come in various pitches.

Thumbs up

No probs HB.
Threads such as Imperial,gas etc are usually all straightforward but there is that many different types of metric thread available that it is easy to think it may be something else like UNF / BA etc.

Cheers

Assuming all years fit the same way, you unscrew the gearknob from the lever and prise the gaitor off of the gearknob
