Replacing manual shift knob

kckunkun said:

Anybody have any ideas on how exactly to remove the shift knob? Just twist off? What about the boot? I've tried giving it some pressure and twisting but didn't really seem to budge so I didn't want to force it.

It's not in the 2016 - CIVIC - OWNER'S MANUAL on Honda's site. Like he said ^ best to call the service department or ask your go to garage guy to see if they have any idea on how to take it off.

all you have to do is pull the boot off and unscrew the knob. the boot is basically tightened with a twistie tie which is why it's so tight. but just gotta yank it down. i replaced it with a razo shiftknob but there's no adapter piece between my knob to the boot so it looks a bit ugly, which is why i switched back. i actually like the look of the stock shiftknob. just wish it was a bit heavier!

i managed to pinch both sides of the clip and remove just the stock shiftknob so I can retain the silver connector piece. looks much better. threw my Razo shiftknob back on cause I miss the weight of this knob.

same to you brother! aegean blue ftw!

and i'd say this sits pretty much at the same height. maybe even slightly lower because the stock shift knob was taller whereas this is just a weighted ball.

what kinda knobs were you looking at?
