Changing The Automatic shifter
I've seen this done by a couple of 7thgeners and I Need some help...
How did you get the stock Auto shifter off (Couldn't find in any forms)
What is a good site to replace the shifter and get a boot
Do you just get the 5 spd console piece to replace the Auto to fit the shift boot
I know these questions are dumb but I'm still new to fixing up cars and Living in Germany isn't much help If itisn't a VW GOlF no one knows ****. So anyone that can help

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.

Here is the DIY
Go here to get an automatic shift **** if you want a differenent one, they have the best prices I have seen
Go here, choose the year of your car and trim and instead of selecting automatic choose manual then go to console and you can purchase the whole shift boot assembly for like 20 something bucks

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.

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.

Hondawerx will also have the shifter boot/bezel thing. Just shoot him an e-mail or PM him.
As for the AT shifter ***** w/o a trigger, you have to push down on the entire **** to disengage the gate lock thing.

THOSE OF YOU WITH A 2003 CIVIC:
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..
ALL 2001~2002 models are being held on with screws, and you must remove the center console.

InanimateCarbonRod, how did you connect the shift boot to the shift ****? It looks like you didn't remove the silver piece on the shift boot. I have the same RAZO shift ****.

Well I ordered my Razo RA89 shift **** 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.
