the stock shift **** on my '03 ex 5 spd tends to twist around clockwise and counterclockwise under normal driving. does this happen to anyone else and is there a way to fix it?

Mine did that as well. I just replaced it with a tasteful aftermarket shift ****.

....and by the way, finding a "tasteful" aftermarket shift **** took me about 8 hours of searching through ugly crap (ie.. neon crap, metal crap, tachy crap, painted crap, plastic crap......)

unhook the boot and tighten it

01civicboi is correct. Just pull down on the little circular piece holding the boot to the ****. Then just twist the **** tighter. Dont worry if it seems too tight, just put it to the correct position then put the boot back on and you should be done with slippery, circulating shift *****.

If you want to get another **** that works with you boot perfectly, get the base RSX shift ****. I have it and it's great becuase it's much shorter than the stock civic ****.

tighten it up real easy but tighten it so hard to where u get it straight and tight so it wont move again.

hey thanks for the advice guys. it is definately hard to find a tasteful non-rice aftermarket shift ****. where is a good place to find the rsx shift ****? i havent been able to find them on ebay.

don't hold it so hard....you hold your crank that hard?...it might hurt it too.....my shift **** twists to....so i straighten it and wrench on it a little less.
