2005 Accord shift knob instal

[VividSI]

I just thought I'd share my weekend mod which is the 2005 accord leather shift knob, I had to obviously order the accessory and under the parts catalog I had to order the shift boot. In order for this to work I removed the plastic receiver from the accord shift boot and bored it out with a knife to accept the larger civic threaded extension on the shifter base. I then was able to slide it down to make room for the shift knob and large accord collar. I would have to rate the fit and finish 9/10 and the feel and performance 10/10. Dont let the pic fool you, the civic shift boot cannot be easily pulled down from the accord collar because of the accord plastic receiver which has a lip lifting up the boot and snapping into the collar.

thanks, your the only one so far who likes it, with the summer heat right around the corner this will be better vs my aluminum one.

Not bad but I like the honda element 5-speed shift knob better :mbiggrin:
That's what I have in my hatch

I just looked up both. Poetic does yours have the red? That is nice. I just like how the accord one flows nicely with the shift boot.

when I was looking at other model's shift knobs I liked the element because its the same as the RSX-S which I have also tried but wanted it to say 5 speed, but dont remember being able to find it so I settled on this accord one.

The element shift knob is flat black and it was like $7 from a honda parts website but shipping is like $10 lol. I bought at the same time that I bought a bunch of other parts so the $10 shipping wasn't a big deal. It's plastic so it's nothing fancy but I liked how it looked in another EP3 and it's about half the size and half the weight of the stock knob. Here's the part # 54102-SCV-A01ZA

Oh and the element shift knob clips right on like the stock knob
