Hey guys, my brother got a shift knob for me in HK and i was wondering if any of you guys know how to take off the stock shift knob properly and putting on the new aftermarket spoon shift knob. Your advice is needed! :D

ok, this is a very VERY intricate procedure.. be very cafeful as you might break a nail!!!!
first thing, theres a chrome clip that you pull down from the stock shift knob!! this may take a little force, but i managed to muster up the strength to do it, once that is down, you brace yourself, and grab on to the knob, and twist it off, unscrew untill it falls off.. then comes the hard part..
to put the new one on... you stick it on top of the screw looking shifter assembly, and screw it on.. be VERY carful because if you screw it in wrong the shift pattern may be upside down and you will NOT know where 1st gear is!!!
joHn
honestly though, be careful with that Ti knob, I've read that a few people tightened it down to much at it basically cracked in half
aww your such a sweet heart... E thug my ass!!!!Originally Posted by EnJaNir
Do you have any of the following?
1) CTR Boot
or
2) Adapter (From Honda)
Otherwise the results won't be pretty.
How to remove the stock knob:
1) With your right hand (or left if you are weird), grasp the knob and form a grip. This is the grip you will use to remove the stock shift knob.
2) Take a deep breath.
3) Turn the knob to the right.
4) Wrong way! Righty-tighty, lefty-loosy!
5) Turn the knob the other way.
6) Shit it won't move! Grab that chrome piece and get it down off the adapter inside the knob.
7) Keep unscrewing.
8) Oh shit! No more threads!
9) Pick it up and put it in a box.
10) Mail it to me.

Ok fine. It still is a valid Acura part also.
or you can use the USDM one and do the DIY that RAYIO (sorry if spelled wrong, its fucking 317AM so give me a break) did useing the stock OEM rubber shifter bushings. http://www.ephatch.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26683
there you go
Hey thanks guys for the quick responses....I'll let you guys know how i am doing after i am done with it..thanks! :D
ok well atlease we know people have done it...
people broke the spoon TI knob??? are you joking me?! we'll we are gonna have to be careful then... wow i can't believe the Ti knob will crack.. that is some shit...
its light as hell almost like plastic feeling if you asked me. but yeah make sure you find those items junjai!
Yup, Alot of people from s2ki broke thier spoon T1 shift knob...
They returned and got new ones.
No big deal i suppose.
hey Junjai, if you need that rubber bushings, hit me up.
but the dude bought it from Hong Kong.
ok junjai and i installed the spoon titanium shiftkob... looks cool as hell but the shifter boot got hella small all of a sudden... bought the shifter adaptor from Acura and poped that on and then screwed the knob on, best mod for under one minute.
looks nice too.
