There are a couple threads about this. Try searching, but it's pretty simple. Basically all you have to do is unscrew the stock shift knob and remove the plastic/chrome ring and the black adapter which holds the boot up I think? I would recomend you to also buy a type-r shift boot for a cleaner look. For a temp. fix you could either find a washer w/ the same diameter as the shifter, or you could use a rubber grommet+neoprene washer and zip-tie which is the way I went.

ask memeber WILLIAM if he will make you a CTR boot clip. That will take care of the boot. than all you have to do is find a way to make the numbers face the right direction.

There's also the shift boot adapter from Honda/Acura. Costs like 10 bucks from a dealership. :)
