Default 1998 shift **** compatibility with other lexus/toyota models?

The wood trim on my shift **** is half missing, and it drives me crazy because what's left has sharp edges and I cant help but pick at it. That and it's the only thing wrong with my interior so it drives me crazy. Prices on ebay for LS400 ***** are pretty crazy, with some people wanting more than $140 for used ones. I noticed that a lot of other lexus ***** (RX330, ES300) and Toyota Avalon ***** look really similar and are waaay cheaper. Logically they should fit fine right? From what I can tell it's just a screw on shift **** and why would they use different thread/diameter for different vehicles? Before I order one can anyone confirm if it'll work?

This for example is only $50, and while it's different than the original **** I think it would look just fine:

Default shift ****

I purchased an all wood shift **** from an rx330 and the thread fits but the plastic chrome sleeve I had to shave it in order for it to fit

you need a 5 inch ****, the 3&1/2 inch is not a good fit. so just ask the length..
