Got My RSX Shift Knob - Honda Prelude Forum

willmbrk · 08-28-2003, 07:24 PM

I got an RSX 5 speed shift knob at the dealer for $49. It looks great, feels smooth, and best of all, it screws in like a stock shift knob. My car is a little dirty and a new shift boot and console are going to be replaced tomorrow, but you get a general idea of how it looks.

Looks great man

Not a bad look.

I'm looking for something that is hefty like the stock knob but doesn't look like a freakin apple (e.g., momo's (i think) huge round knobs - don't like those at all)

You gotta try this shift knob out. It is the best buy out there imo. I used to have a Sparco Techo, but I did not like how it was held in with alan wrench screws. This one screws in perfectly

Threaded onto my shifter just fine, right?

speaking of your shifter^^^???

I haven't drove with anything but the stock knob....is it really that much better? I'm interested in getting a shift knob pretty soon, and good websites to look at or should I stick with eBay?

Ebays good for a deal

Only problem though is that in the summer the metal knobs are HOT as hell

other wise very nice

what did you end up doing about the plastic ring that the stock shift knob contacts, I can't really see in the pic.

Looks good BTW!

That's my set-up and I love it!

I installed the knob the way the factory states. Then I put my shift boot over the plastic ring and used black zip ties to secure it.

As for the flywheel, that is a purchase that will be coming soon. My ACT clutch is a street/strip and it works great except stop and go traffic kinda sucks because it is rather stiff

stop and go traffic = death for MT cars! grrrr. I'll have to look into some ACT clutches here in a little while. My friend just bought a stage 2 for his 01 eclipse and it was $500. 8O
