I got mine when I found it on ebay for the best price I had seen. There are always a few there.


On a related note, I'm installing mine tomorrow, anyone have tips on it? Anything to look out for?

What did you search under because i can't find it in ebay. Also how much did you pay for it? hondawerx doesn't have it and tornactive has it for 45 bucks. i don't know if i wanna spend that much on a shift boot...

FYI, hondaautomotiveparts.com has the stock USDM shift boot for about $50, so there's no real price difference between the two.

Yes there is. JDM allows you to use after-market shift knobs, while the USDM doesn't. ^_^

What is the difference between the USDM and JDM shift boot?

The USDM boot connects to the factory knob, so if you put most aftermarket knobs on there it will sag. The CTR boot has a trim ring that allows an aftermarket knob to be put on, without making the boot sag. Try doing a search, I know I've seen tons of pics that compare the two.

I installed mine and a skunk2 knob this past weekend and love how subtle it is.

how do you take the shifter dash off?

Look in this thread:

http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3024

and in this how-to on k-series.com :

http://www.k-series.com/tech_detail.php?Tech_ID=EP_HU_INSTALL

It's pretty simple, but you have to be patient to keep from bending or breaking the garnish (as Honda labels it).

- Pull down the shift boot's chrome piece from the knob.
- Unscrew the knob.
- Poke your thumbs into the rubber part of the boot, and start pulling the whole lower plastic section away from the dash.
- You'll discover several tabs that secure the garnish into the dash. I had to wiggle & tease the one on the far right, by the blank hole filler, to eventually work it loose.
- Once it's off the dash, and the hazard button is unplugged, it's pretty easy to see what to unscrew to replace the shift boot itself.
- Put everything back together, and don't forget to plug the hazard button back in or else your turn signals won't work (learned that, too).

Thanks, PAXIE -
