check out that link guys, they are starting to make acurazine shift knobs. But the guy said he might make some for us 1st gens if theres enough demand. So post up in there to show that youre interested! all the details are in that link

 

i hope they make one for our CL

 

thats a nice shiftknob.

 

it looks really nice, but im a fan of a leather/vinyl shift nob. metal ones will kill us So California pple.

 

who cares about the heat just shift fast...

 

Or put a sock over the shifter before you leave your car.

 

make sure its a clean sock

 

they will if you show interest and post up in that thread

 

Will a paper sock work?

 

It should fit ALL Honda's and Acura's that are stick.

 

already posted know just gotta wait and see

 

whats a paper sock

 

chined in. I like both styles actually

 

i think were getting closer to having an az knob for our cars

 

clean knob want one if not alot

 

it should, but I just want to make sure before saying that it will work. Most Honda/Acura vehicles use a 10mm coarse thread for the MT and 8mm for AT.

SilverCL97 is close to my office so we'll test it out on his car.

 

 

 

if it fits on my car can i keep it

 

We'll work something out.

Have you taken apart your shift knob/boot assembly before? I don't have a service manual for your car so I really don't know what we're getting into. I've just seen pictures of other people's short shifter installs.

 

its easy, you just pull, pop the plastic ring off and unscrew the knob. Getting the acutal boot off is tricky, but I dont think you'll need to do that for this project

 

i haven't even tried taking apart my shift knob/boot assembly before... i think i have the manual but im not sure

...i'll try doing it in auto class tomorrow

 

the auto shifter is a whole other story

will it be available for the auto too?

 

I'm not going to do one for the AT 1st gens.

 

Oh ok, that's easy.

 

that is one sexy shift knob. all though i dunno how that would look with my ugly gray cloth interior. pretty sad i have a acura with cloth.

 

damn, not only do our trannies suck, but now we arent even going to have a AcuraZINE shifter

 

looks like all of you AT 1st gen CLers are gonna have to get 5spd swaps if you want this knob

 

Why can't we get a nice shift knob for the automatics? I think that would be a nice idea...although the interest may not be that great, we do share the same knob as the V6 Accords, so a deal with v6performance.net could be arranged.

All I know is that I'd be down for a shift knob for my 3.0.

 

why not? we have lots of 3.0'ers that only have AT. they can't be any different than other AT's

either way, we still have faster cars

 

 

 

 

When I changed mine it was a pain in the culito (ass)

 

The only problem with the AT in the 3.0 is that it has the push button shift lock instead of the gate that the newer Acuras have. It would be prohibitively expensive to develop a CNC machined knob with the push button design.

The MT knob took seven complete revisions to come up with the design you see on the main page. Each time the design had to be rendered in CAD, then a CNC program had to be made, and hours spent running it on a lathe that costs a dollar a minute to run. And that knob is only one piece! There are several components that would need to be designed/fabricated/assembled for the 3.0 AT.

If you guys wanted to drop $150-$200 on a knob then I'd be happy to help.

 

They should of bought a stick in the first place

 

I'd drop the cash if it looks similar to that of a 2nd gen CL.

 

your 3.0's might be faster but we have nicer shift knobs

 

 

I know about the heat. I live in Vegas and have an alumninum shift knob...Fuckin hurts like a bitch when its hot out. You can shit fast, but youare still gonna get 3rd degree burns. I just throw a towel over it when i get out of my car.
