Shift lever extension

Ok guys, I'm trying to find some shift extension here in Japan but I can't seem to find the one with Honda's threas pitch of 10x1.5 (weird hmmm).

I came across this:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/desir-de-vivre/item/hoshihikari-exea-et28/

and:
http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/mach7/item/gc85_doukei/

The problem is the thread pitch. (12x1.25 , 10x1.25 , 12x1.75). I really want to try those extensions.

Question is, what adapters should I buy for it to fit on Honda's 10x1.5 ? Sorry I don't know so much about thread pitch adapters.

Thank you.

They don't have those on the shelf at Super Autobacs? Or no stores close to you?

They carried the Seiko extenders here in the US when they were open.

@gawa: those are nice extensions.. but I really want to try the bent one. xD thanks for suggesting.

@tpc: did that, no results >_<

@wanderer: I already went to 3 autobacs shop here, there is no 10x1.5 thread pitch >_<

I e- mailed the online shop of Autobacs, they told me they dont have the one for Hondas... I asked why, they didnt reply omg...

thanks guys!

Gawa's link is probably your best bet then, I haven't seen many angled extensions for Hondas except for the Garage Defend one.

Now that you mention it swiftmove I don't remember seeing any Seiko extensions at Autobacs for 10x1.5, I was shopping for a Toyota . I wonder why that is... maybe they don't make them because I don't see them online in Honda pitch either

Ebay has them for 8-14 bucks depending on if you want 1.5 through 4 inch extension

Im getting a 3 inch pretty soon here, long enough so that I can heat the bitch up and bend it towards me

Those are some good extensions! Now my problem would be the shipping payment that would be more expensive than the extension itself. >_<

The only thign that worries me about the cheaper ones is the thread tolerances.

a loose thread tolerance means it will eventually loosen up.

Nothing a $1-$2 tube of threadlock cant fix!

I have one, you can tighten it down pretty well. I was concerned about this too. Definitely wasn't perfect with some shavings on the inside but I just blew them out. Top thread is fine.
