MG MGA - shift lever thread size

What is the thread size on the end of the shift lever for the shift knob? Mine is buggered up and I can't seem to fit any of my standard threading dies on it, nor can I fit a standard bolt into the shift knob where the threads are still ok.

Thanks, George

5/16" UNF. At least that's the thread on my spare gear lever.........Mike

5/16-24-UNF. If the thread is beyond repair, there is really neat way to replace it. See here: http://mgaguru.com/mgtech/gearbox/gt108.htm
