:biggrin: :vtec: :vtec: :vtec:

Just havin fun being bored.

 

fugly = ******* ugly.. in a nice way, haha

 

:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

 

does anybody know if you can shorten the shifter height on the automatics? i wanted to get a shorter shifter because i want to put a portable car pc in front of it but the shifter blocks the view.

 

don't thread jack , thank you.
start your own thread please.

 

And any thing is possible.

you can butcher the shifter if you wish.

 

wow the back of our stock shifters look weird. never seen it from that angle lol

 

hey that looks pretty good. if i had an a/t id def do this. nice diy!

 

K, done. I like it.

Okay, not 100% DONE, almost.

 

LOL, the drawstrings are still there. Good job, i guess.

Yeah yeah, I know, gonna put an elastic band in over the weekend, need to get some black ones to do the job proper *grins* and still the logos to embroider on too...

dun dun dun dun

 

nice man i was always wondering how to get that thing off... im gonna do it to mine AT... the shiftknob you have i seen at pep boys, but the center (shaft) part was carbon fiber.....

 

please post the diy for shortening the auto shifter knob so that people can put a car pc monitor in front of the shifter knob without blocking view for rear passengers. i think it owuld be very useful for other users! thank you once again for solving a big problem with my car pc install!

i thought you knew your ****!!!
















lol j/k:laughing:

 

looks good! this is what i did:thumb:

 

i think the stock shift knob looks slick... i wouldn't replace it unless i get a mugen, momo or a spoon original or something.. otherwise, good job! will be refering to this once i get a shift knob that looks better than my stock

 

then, put a JDM civic type R shift boot at the bottom!! FTW!!!

 

where can i find some good looking auto shift knob

 

RAZO QuickShift



scour eBay for them. type in "auto shift knob" and a whole bunch will come up. some cheap, some (Momo) not so cheap. RAZO makes a whole bunch of really nice AT shift knobs with different colour choices. Look them up.

Here is mine installed. It's the RAZO QuickShift. I showed Cr8tive_Leo at the last meet.

I might add a boot to mine in the future...

 

thanks for the tips
from the description and a few attempts, final got the crux of the removal

I found that prying unnecessary as there’s no locking latch at the side

The only latch that holds the shroud located at the front, but we cannot access there to unlock the shroud so the only alternative location via the rear with a hard thug downwards to release the catch.

Remember to use protective material before place a hard flat metal to force down the shroud, I use a 8mm diameter rod to push down the shroud.

 

Nice job, I think it looks even nicer without the boot.

 

Thanks a lot for the DIY. I've been trying to figure out a way to do this for awhile. Do you think it would be possible to use one of these as a shift boot? (blue of course for my EX)

 

I did it with my old '95. Had to take off the cluster/gate thing, but it works. I'd imagine it to be essentially the same for you, considering the shape of the shifter.

 

the guys over at clublexus.com had that style of shifter for their OEM automatics... they called them "dildomatics". Just putting that out there, but great DIY.
