Do you just get the 5 spd console piece to replace the Auto to fit the shift boot

ok, the suto shifter is easy. there is 2 small screws on the front or back whatever, the side poiting towards the front of the car. THen it just slides off.
RAZO has some nice auto shifters.
For a boot, you can check out http://www.jujeracing.com
they just had a GB here for boots for autos and other stuff.
that website has some nice boots, and they arnt to expensive either

i have a 2001 civic ex. i tried to order the 2001 manual shifter peice. which included the trim peice and the boot. IT DOES NOT FIT. the trim will slide down but the silver peice to the automatic shifter (*were the letters are) gets in the way. i tried to hack up the new trim peice but still no luck in fitting flushy. so i wasted like 20 bucks. what i ended up doing was just ripping the boot out of that trim peice and ussing the stock auto trim peice. so then i just layed the the boot over the peice with the shifter letters. then put the trim peice over it. kinda tight but it holds snug.

you need to remove that entire piece, it does come off. i believe there are 2 screws holding it down. I know people with 2001 civics who have done this mod successfully.
Thanks for posting that DIY HCivic02. I was looking for that.
Would anyone happen to know if an 03 Civic would be done differently. Would I still have to take out the middle console? I'm looking at the manual shift boot I bought and it looks like it just snaps into place. So I'm wondering if the automatic shift boot is also held by clips and can easily come off.
Sorry, I know pics would help. I'll post them later on.
Okay, here's the manual shift boot I bought. Notice the clips? I'm wondering if the automatic shift boot is held the same way so that maybe I won't have to take out the center console.
Anyone had problems Finding parts at the Majestic site I can't seem to get the Manual boot for the 2002 Under console 2 It keeps coming up No Items listed....And that piece that has the 12 V socket our is there but not availible to buy...anyone had these problems
How can you use different shift knobs on an automatic if they don't have the little trigger button on them? Wouldn't that prevent you from dropping it into D2 on the fly?

you do not have to remove the center console at all. the piece is indeed just clipped into place. you can simply rip it out *mumble* luckybastards..
Cool! Thanks Mex!
InanimateCarbonRod, how did you connect the shift boot to the shift knob? It looks like you didn't remove the silver piece on the shift boot. I have the same RAZO shift knob.

I have a spring under the shift boot that keeps the silver piece pushed against the bottom of the shift knob. It's a pretty light spring, I'd guess the length to be about 2-1/2 to 3" long. I picked it up at the local Sears Hardware store.
Well I ordered my Razo RA89 shift knob the other day from Sound domain, should be here by the end of the week, and also ordered my shift boot from my local honda dealer and that will be here tomorrow. If everything get here on time, i will have this mod done by the weekend.
Anyone have any problems so far with it? Espcially if your using the Razo RA89??
Yup, just give them the part number that ak provided. If they don't have it in stock, they should order it for you. When I asked for the shift boot for an 03, they didn't have it in stock so they had to order it.
To remove your shifter just set your ebrake and then pull the shifer into neutral (so you can see what you're doing). Then there's 2 screws on the front of it you can remove and then it just slides right off.
