What size and thread is 4wd shift knob screw?

I lost the screw that secures the 4wd low shifter knob when I replaced the auto's shifter bushings. It is part # 90159-40180 which is discontinued. I went to the local hardware store, the 3mm was too small, the 4mm was either too big or the wrong thread and they did not have any differing threads in metric 4. I see on the internet there is such a thing as a metric 3.5mm screw. Baffled.

Can anyone assist?

It may be a JIS M4-0.75mm. The ISO M4 thread pitch is 0.70 and what you see in the hardware store. No fine and coarse in M4. Those JIS M4-0.75 puppies are special use screws because apparently JIS went to the same 0.7 as ISO in like 1967. Good luck finding any. I'd consider retapping the hole to use the M4-0.7 or hit the junkyard.

That kind of info is pure gold. It sure looked like an M4 but threads did look different. I will add it to my list of junkyard search items.

If I retapped would I not go up a size to M5 say? Otherwise there would be a hash of both ) 0.70 and 0.75 threads...or am I missing something?

The result would not be pretty, but they are close enough that the hash might hold. If not, then yes, go up a size. I wouldn't do that on an LBJ; we are talking about a knob.

BUMPing this thread for a small chance someone may have been able to locate where one can purchase this screw for the shifter knob. I’ve searched all over the internet with no luck as well. Thanks!
