To Grey or whoever else changed their shift ****
Well, after looking on Club Si, I had to take off my center console, remove the shift boot and then I finally could reach the clips to take the **** out.

After going through hell putting the boot back on, I can say that this was definitely worth it. Fits Perfectly. Since no one on Club RSX would sell me theres, I had to drive 40 miles to the nearest Acura dealer, order it, and it finally came in today. Came to 29 and some odd change.



Wahoo

you have to pinch the silver ring around the boot to get the boot to slide down. Then you can unscrew the ****...how much was your RSX shift ****?

yeah that describes it perfectly. i figured that out when i was "removing" my center console (the console doesnt really come out, it gets stuck.. or now that i think about it, maybe that was because i had the seat all the way up to get to the screws)

I love mine. It has a lower profile, feels good, looks great, fits perfect, and best of all looks stock.

k3wl, it's nice isn't it Neo? I like it 'cause it's shorter and it's somewhat more comfy. Putting that thing on your 2k1 civic is much much easier.

it is MUCH easier to do on a 2k1, took me about ten minutes, tops. maybe that was cause i already knew how to take the center console out? and toastyghosty's DIY page helped a lot too. i have the aluminum shift ****, and i love it. gets a little cold when it's cold out though.

That looks pretty hard, Neo. I'm goin for the Civic Type R ****, though. I never saw the RSX one, but I did like the one in the Type S, too. All these nice *****.
