FAQ

The first thing you need to confirm is whether our products will fit your vehicle. To do that, you'll need to find out if we make an adapter for the year, make, model and transmission (automatic/manual) of the car you drive. But what the hell is an adapter, you ask? See below!

Yes - every single Likewise shifter or extension will need one of our adapters to attach to your vehicle. Without an adapter, our products will not fit. We make many different types of adapters that suit a wide variety of vehicles. If you don’t know what adapter you need, start with our Fitment chart here. 

That's it, the world is over. Just kidding! This just means that we're probably not familiar with your vehicle. This doesn’t mean we can’t help you though - we just need you to contact us with more detail. When contacting us, please include the year, make, model and transmission (automatic/manual) of your vehicle. If you don't include this information, we can't help you until you provide it.

If you have a button on your automatic shifter, our adapters will not work. If you don't have a button on your automatic shifter AND the shifter unscrews, we may be able to help! Please visit our Fitment chart to determine whether we have already identified your car, or get in touch for help.

Maybe. All of our shifters and extensions were developed to work with reverse lockouts smaller than 22mm in diameter. It is highly recommended that you check the size of your reverse lockout to make sure that it will work BEFORE you make a purchase. Please email us if you require specific dimensions.

Please refer to our Terms and Conditions. We cannot control how our products are used once the product leaves our hands, but the intent of our products is made clear on our website. Please email us if you require more information.

Unfortunately not. The colours on our store are the only colours that we currently stock. We often have limited edition releases of specific colours but these are only available until sold out.

No, we do not offer custom versions of our products.

No, we do not offer custom versions of our products.

Unfortunately not. Our adapters are colour-coded based on their size. Don't worry though - these adapters are completely invisible once installed. Adapters that are visible once installed (like our Ford Adapter) are only available in black.

PLUS+ is our new integration system which takes our shifters, adapters and shift boot retainers and brings them all together. The PLUS+ system allows these products to work in unison like never before, featuring adapters that are stronger and easier to install, and shift boot retainers that are compatible with almost any vehicle. The PLUS+ system represents the pinnacle of Likewise shifting products and the future of our designs.

PLUS+ adapters are our new generation of adapters. PLUS+ adapters are designed to offer a simple install, more strength and easier adjustment. PLUS+ adapters are also compatible with our new Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+.

First generation adapters include Disco Biscuits, Euro Adapters, and Ford/Veloster/Corolla Adapters. First generation adapters are compatible with first generation shifters and boot retainers.

Please find our Thread Adapter PLUS+ and Disco Biscuit comparison guide here.

The Clamp Adapter PLUS+ is our new generation Euro Adapter. The Clamp Adapter PLUS+ has been redesigned to achieve a greater clamping force, adding strength where it’s needed most. The Clamp Adapter PLUS+ is also compatible with the Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+.

The Collar Adapter PLUS+ is our new generation Ford/Veloster/Corolla Adapter. The Collar Adapter PLUS+ is taller that our previous design, increasing the contact area between your vehicle’s OEM threads and your PLUS+ shifter.

Yes, to get all the benefits of the PLUS+ system including compatibility with the Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+, you will need to purchase a PLUS+ adapter with a PLUS+ shifter.

This is dependant on the vehicle and needs to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Some vehicles can use a PLUS+ shifter with a first generation adapter, whereas most vehicles can not. To be safe, we recommended upgrading to a PLUS+ adapter when purchasing a PLUS+ shifter.

PLUS+ shifters feature an internal o-ring at the base of the shifter that allows compatibility with the Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+. PLUS+ shifters also feature a deeper internal thread that allows greater thread engagement compared to first generation shifters.

First generation shifters do not have an internal o-ring. First generation shifters also have a shallower internal thread compared to PLUS+ shifters.

Technically, yes. PLUS+ adapters are 10mm taller than first generation adapters. This means that a first generation shifter will sit 10mm higher when installed on a PLUS+ adapter.

The Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+ is a new generation shift boot retainer. The Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+ features a wider internal bore compared to our first generation Shift Boot Retainer, making it compatible with shifter assemblies up to 19mm in diameter. Please refer to our fitment guide for more details.

The first generation Shift Boot Retainer is compatible with shifter assemblies that fit a specific criteria. Please refer to our fitment guide for more details.

No. First generation shifters do not have an internal o-ring that is required to install the Shift Boot Retainer PLUS+. This o-ring is only on the PLUS+ shifters.

No. Vehicles that use the Collar Adapter PLUS+ do not require a boot retainer.

Yes, all first generation shifters will fit PLUS+ extensions. Just make sure to include a PLUS+ adapter with your PLUS+ extension to get the most out of your PLUS+ product.

Yes, all PLUS+ shifters will fit first generation extensions. Just make sure to include a PLUS+ adapter with your PLUS+ shifter if you decide to use your shifter on it’s own.

A Disco Biscuit is a threaded adapter. It threads onto your shifter assembly and our extensions thread onto the Disco Biscuit. You can adjust the orientation of your Likewise shifter by rotating your Disco Biscuit. You can find our instructional video on how to install your Disco Biscuit here.

This varies from car to car, but a quick Google search for "[YOUR CAR] shift knob thread" should answer your question. You can also check our Fitment chart that covers a range of makes and models. If you have searched and can’t find any information about what size you need (and you promise that you've tried reeeeeally hard), please contact us for help.

Unfortunately we do not make custom Disco Biscuits for other thread sizes, but feel free to contact us to see if this adapter will be made in the future.

The notches on the Disco Biscuit are there for this exact reason. You can use a flat-head screwdriver to unscrew the Disco Biscuit if it gets stuck.

The Euro Adapter was developed for shifter assemblies that do not have a thread (common in many Euro cars, hence the super-original name). The Euro Adapter clamps firmly to your shifter assembly and allows all of our shifters and extensions to thread on like normal.

Check out our Fitment chart to determine which size you will need. If your car is not on this list, you will need to measure the diameter of your shifter assembly. You can find our instructional video on how to measure and install the Euro Adapter here.

No, the Euro Adapter is only designed to fit 10mm, 12mm, or 14mm shifter assemblies and should not be modified. We will not replace Euro Adapters that have been damaged due to improper installation.

No. The Love Button is not used like a normal handbrake button. The Love Button should be installed after removing the spring in your handbrake. It is designed so that your thumb does not press directly onto the spike. You'll be fine.

No. Our drift buttons only work with the cars listed in the description (Type A: FRS/BRZ/86/WRX/Liberty and Type B: S13/S14/S15/R32/R33/R34/Cefiro/Laurel). It does not work with any other cars.

No. All of our extensions have a top thread size of M20x1.5mm which is the internal size of our shifters. Only Likewise shifters will fit.

No. Our shifters will thread directly onto our extensions without an additional adapter.

No. All of our shifters are sold separately to our extensions.

The Suzuka Direct Thread Version is designed to attach to your shifter assembly without the need for an adapter. The Suzuka Adapter Version works with any of our adapters such as Disco Biscuits, Euro Adapters and the Ford Adapter. For a more detailed breakdown, please visit our explanation guide here.

No - band-aids are not included. The band-aids are only shown on our website to distinguish between Imperfect and non-Imperfect products. For a similar effect, check out our Likewise Repair Kit here.

Unfortunately not. All Imperfection Section products are pre-packaged and sealed before being made available on our store. As a general rule, all Imperfect products will have minor cosmetic defects consisting of (but not limited to): small dents, colour blemishes, and/or finish imperfections. Imperfections are only cosmetic and will not affect your ability to use the product.

If you can add the product to your cart, then it's in stock. If you can not add the product to your cart, then it's out of stock.

Our products move fast and are constantly being restocked. If we do run out, we usually have more stock available within a few weeks. Email us if you need specific restock times.

Our online store will calculate shipping prices for you automatically.

Please remember that we are based on a massive desert island situated far from everyone else (Australia), and our products consequently take a long journey to get to most of our customers. We are constantly trying to minimise and reduce shipping costs and always pass these savings onto our customers. Shipping our products overseas also requires packaging that will keep them secure and safe during their journey, which results in some additional cost.

Yes! We ship to most countries around the world.

All orders are usually packed and shipped within 1 to 3 business days. You will be automatically sent an email with tracking information once your order has shipped. Any possible delays in this process will be communicated with you.

Yes, we will automatically email you a tracking number when your order ships. If you have not received one, your order probably hasn't shipped yet.

Domestic (within Australia): 2-5 business days
International: 5-7 business days

Delivery times are between metropolitan areas of major cities, excludes time in customs if applicable, and may be subject to delay due to causes outside of your postal service's control.

Probably not. If it looks like your package hasn't moved in a while, it most likely means that your package is simply working its way through the postage system, or the plane that was carrying it has crashed into the ocean (just kidding - we just like being dramatic). If you are still concerned, please contact the shipping provider first. We can only see the same tracking information that you can, so unfortunately we cannot provide more detail.

Yes. You’re on it right now actually.

Maybe. Please make sure that you email us ASAP so that we can correct your order before it is shipped.

We accept PayPal, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, AfterPay, ClearPay, Sizzle, Apple Pay, and Android Pay.

This is usually due to a restriction set by your bank, especially if you are purchasing from outside of Australia. Usually this is easily resolved by contacting your bank. Unfortunately we do not have any control over this.

Unfortunately the answer to this question is almost always ‘no’. As much as we would love to sponsor everyone that asks, we are simply unable to.

No. We are very nice people, but we cannot give you a discount simply because you asked nicely.
