Default Repairing torn leather on clutch?

Does anyone know how to replace the torn leather from the clutch. I'm refering to the cloth that goes around the clutch handle. Mines torn off halfway and i would like to replace the whole fabric. Thank you.

what you are referring to is called the shift knob. what year is your car?
you can pick the shift knob up at the dealer(some might not have it), ebay, or other parts stores. ebay has cheap honda ones, so check that out.

i dont really know if anyone sells a repair kit for a shift boot. you might as well just get a new one from the dealer or something. maybe ebay?

I got a Genuine Honda Type R shift boot off ebay for $30. That is probably the best solution for a ripped boot.
