How do I prevent my shift boot from sliding down on my shift knob

[JTOHO]

My type r shift boot keeps sliding down on my shift knob. What do I need to do to keep it up right against my aftermarket shift knob"?

I went to my local Rona's ( Like Home depot or Lowe's) brought the knob in with me and found out the thread pitch, size and ect. I bought two bolts and a couple washers. I put the bolt under the shift boot with one washer on top and the two bolts under locked into each other. Adjust shift boot height accordingly.

That's what I did may or may not work for you only about 4 bucks in part. But if it works it gets rid of a lot of aggravations

jdm shift boot, acura rsx shift boot adapter (discontinued), crsx shift boot adapter, oem shifter base bushing, tape. these are some of your options or just get creative

He already has a type-r shift boot.

I dont know what to say, they are all like that. I dont mind it really. Before I just wrapped a bunch of tape under the knob inside the boot to hold it up but than it pinched my hand when I was shifting so the gap prevents that which I am sure was as Honda intended.

Unscrew the knob, take the boot off, screw the knob on as far down as you want, wrap ducttape around it kinda thick then unscrew the knob off and put everything back on. It'll hold up real close to the knob and look a lot better.

I used the little collar piece that came with the BCSS...did some test fitting, then with the boot off, turned that down to where it needed to be. Boot goes over top, and knob on last.
Nice, tight, consistent fit, and the collar acts as a nice locknut to prevent the knob from turning too far.

Pic of this? lol zip ties ftw!

Also there is many way of doing it but by reading most people post on this subject, the popular way to do it is with tape :P

Get two nuts that fit the shifter lever. Remove knob and boot. Thread the two nuts to where you want the knob to sit and then lock them together. Stack a washer or two on top. Reinstall boot and tighten knob.
