Default 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

You can go with the Skunk2 shift knob. I have one of these. Check it out on ebay:

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

however, be prepared to freeze your hand in the winter, and burn your hand in the summer. or keep a rag in the car to handle the knob until the temp. balances out in the cabin.

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.

This is exactly what I'm looking for (sort of). I want the basic shape of the OEM but don't want vinyl. I know the Type-Rs have the leather with the red stitching but $100 seems a little steep to me. I'm wondering if someone can point me to which models of the Integra came with the leather shift knob or where I can get one that is similar (momo, perhaps?).

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