Sad as this is to say, I have no idea how to get the shift knob off my car. I've searched here and on *********, with the only thread having the link to the PDF no longer valid.
Apparently somehow you "pull down the shift boot with retaining tabs and use a 17mm wrench to loosen the knob."
Unfortunately I have no idea what that means lol. Anyone offer some advice?
well hopefully they are the same, 04 tsx, but the shift knob should be simple. if you look at your shift knob where it screws in there should be a bolt then the knob. use a 17mm wrench or a 9/16 i believe while holding the shift knob turn the wrench counter clock wise to remove the loosen the bolt then unscrew the shift knob and do the reverse installing the new one. if you have problems still i'll try to take pictures of the process.
I found installation directions for the 2009-2013 Auto. Shouldn't be much different if you're manual. Unless its the same as the 04-08 then it's just the 17mm and twist the knob counter clockwise like CL9kamina mentioned. But I'm assuming these are the directions you need:
Haha so I figured it out, you grasp the collar at the top of the shift boot where it connects with the knob and force the collar straight down. That exposes the nut that you can counter turn from the knob to remove it. I felt like I was going to break the snaps on the collar... Sketchy lol.
Haha, that image is off of the civic si that is came from it doesn't fit flush due to the base of that knob being a wider diameter than the collar that comes on the OEM shift lever.
Lol I'm the only one that would notice it, but still I love the feel of that knob, and the leather enhances the look a bit to match the rest of the car.
