I just got a new shift knob for my integra and now the boot falls lower than the knob. what, if any, adjustment can i make to make the boot tight to the knob? Thanks for any help.

 

Use a zip tie or heavy duty rubber band, and install it on the under side of the shift boot. I used a girls hair band

 

Ok thanks i'll try that..

 

I have this same problem and was looking for a quick fix, but had not given it much thought. So how exactly did you do this? It sounds like you affixed it to the inside of the shift boot, but I could be wrong and so I am asking for clarification. Thanks!!!

 

I wrapped electrical tape around the shifter just below the nut for the shift knob, you have to do it so it's just a little bigger than the hole on the top of the boot, then you pull it up and over it .

 

Well with the center console "loose," I just wrapped a rubber band around the shift lever several times and slid it down pretty far. Then I reached underneath, flipped the top portion of the boot inside out and worked the band onto that. A zip tie would probably be easier though.

Hard to explain, but if your looking at the boot I'm sure you'll see what I mean.

This is probably easier if you don't have the console removed already.

 

I figured I had an idea of what you meant and so I took some rubber bands from work and did it real quick before I left for the house. Turned out I did with the rubberbands what the other guy did w/the electrical tape, and it worked great. Problem solved. I think I might try to sell this on Ebay. I am going to call it the Saggy Shift Boot Rejuvenatory Kit. $1.00w/instructions plus $5.00 shipping.

 

50% commission please :chuckles:.

I was pleasantly surprised with how well the electrical tape worked, glad it worked for you.
