94-01 Closest replacement shift knobs
I just joined the ranks of the Integras... found a '95 with 70k miles
on it, one owner, no accidents. I'm happy. I really like the shape/fit of the OEM shift knob on it but it is a wee bit worn. What are good replacements for it? I like the standard RSX one and some of the Momo's. The main thing I'm looking for is that it look relatively stock. That is, the shift knob goes all the way down to the shift boot and it looks like it could have been there from day one. Thanks for any ideas (or pictures of installed ones.:)) |
Why don't you just get another oem one? You can find shift knobs almost anywhere, just do a google search or look on ebay

Im stupid and spent $45 on my 1995 LS knob. However i think it has the best feel and look with the double bend shifter. unless youre into those hott aftermarket l.e.d. knobs. :lmao:

if you're looking for something other than stock, this looks like a nice alternative:

I've got the skunk2 weighed knob and I LOVE it. Reno is right though, especially in direct sun that thing gets so hot you can barely shift. The weight gives it an amazing shift feel IMHO. If you've got the bucks, go w/ that fox knob or the skunk2, you won't be disapointed. |
I have a related question. Were the shift knobs ever different between the 94-01 Integras? I have a '94 gsr and my buddy had a '99 and the shift knobs felt completely different even though I believe they were both stock. Also, there is a slight gap between the shift boot and shift knob on mine.

I've replaced the vinyl covered shift knobs in my 94 gsr sedan and 94 si with some leather oem integra ones. Not sure which integras these came off of, but they are nice. Leather is the only way to go. Good grip, and unlike the metal ones, winter or summer, they are comfortable to grasp.

Which OEM Integra shifter did you get? The one's I've found do not specifically say leather so I assume they aren't. |

I have the Sparco Litium shift knob. I love it because it is shaped like stock, but the leather is softer than stock. Check it out:

schmoo, you forgot the link :p
my vote is basically for any decent-looking one covered in leather or vinyl |

Do a google search on "Sparco Lithium shift knob". I think I prefer the "Sparco classic shift knob above it". How is the install? Is it threaded or the standard screwed at the bottom onto the shifter? Also, does it go all the way down to the shift boot? |

I've got a gap between the boot and the stock shift knob. Are you saying that the stock shift fork isn't threaded? Can I just keep turning the shift knob to lower it a bit or am I incorrect in this assumption?

But anyway, here is my picture. Hopefully it works this time: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/a...1&d=1144997408 |

http://www.streetneeds.com/uploads/auser/shiftknobs.jpg looking to get rid of your gsr shift knob for cheap? :rick: |
are you sure that's not '98-'01 on the left, '94-'97 on the right?
|
I have an RSX-S on mine. It threaded on just right, no problems. It says 6 speed but who gives a shit it works the same. The bag clip it comes with holds the bag snug to the knob so you do'nt see the shifter either, makes it look clean.
