Black95Accord

I have a 1995 honda accord and i cant seem to figure out how to get my shift knob off..Ive heard of many ways to get it off, but it seems to be stuck! Any help would be appreciated.

On your 95 accord is it a manual trans or automatic?

If it is a manual trans sometimes there is a small screw that holds them unless it a factory knob the just twist it off counter clockwise ( To the left ).

If it is an automatic trans more enlikly there is small screw that is holding it in place.

It is a manual.. I have tried turning it counter clockwise, it turns a little and then stops and i have not tried to force it because i do not want to break it..there is also a little thing sticking out below the knob that you can feel under the boot..would that do anything?

The boot clips up onto the knob. Just grab the top of the boot and push down on it hard. Once the boot and the knob are seperated, you can unscrew the knob without a problem.

I just went to my car and pushed the boot down and the knob will not budge at all! Maybe im not strong enough

put your ass into it, the knob is likely on there with threadlock.

there was a chrome peice that was holding the boot up i think that i just got to come down...but the knob will not turn at all..the chrome peice clips onto the bottom of the knob.

shit, you got the boot down but the chrome piece is still on there? hmmm, you shouldn't need to separate those two. . .the chrome piece should slide down with the boot. It's gonna seem like a huge bitch to slide that chrome piece down but it can be done. The clip is on the front nad back of the knob so pick the chrome piece down rocking it forward and back and you should be able to move it. THEN twist off that bitch of a knob.

I finally got it man, thanks..i am planning on getting a new knob and boot so im not worried about ripping the boot or anything.. Do you know of any sweet knobs and boots out there. I havent even really looked yet.

I have the ITR boot and a gunmetal knob with red numbers on my 94 accord. I'm pretty happy with the knob. I have the forbidden motorsports short shifter and the knob screws right on. You can get the same knob cheap as hell on ebay here:

and the same boot here:

I just took the civic/integra bracket off the boot and put it in my accord. I wouldn't recommend the ITR boot though unless you are ognna do something else with your interior with red in it. At the time, I was gonna get a red/black carbon fiber trim kit, but I got out of doin stuff to my car for a while and it never happened. Now the red on the boot and knob just looks kinda weird (although it still feels good to shift, haha).
