shift knob replacement question

[todddejag]

I need help. Could someone tell me how the shift knob comes off? Does it unscrew? Before I try or mess it up...thought I'd ask.

Step 1) Pull off the boot
Step 2) unscrew the knob

And unless you want to have the tacky looking chrome ring banging around the shifter, you probably need to get a new boot to compliment the new knob. Unless you are going back with an OEM one.

... or if you get the ScienceofSpeed Rapid Shift Knob.

Or use the little trick posted on the Dali site where you get a wire tie and turn the chrome ring inside out and wire tie the leather to the shaft of the shifter below the knob.

If you do use the plastic tie trick, be prepared to take apart the the center console piece in order to get underneath it all.

Even though the NSX console can be removed in 5 min or less if you know what you are doing (I proved it to my wife!) - this isn't necissarily true.

Remove the shift knob, open the center console and remove all the screws (pulls up), then remove the single screw under the center console, then remove the shift knob, then CAREFULLY lift up on the center console and you can squeeze your hand in there and reverse the chrome ring and get a wire tie. It is a tight fit but I have done it 2x this way if you are nervous about removing the clock, vents, and electrical connectors.

good luck

Good to know, I plan on changing boots as soon as I get my car back.
