my friend bought me one and we can not get it to fit. why wouldnt it fit. honda parts most universal shift knobs it hondas and acuras

 

Because the newer Acuras have a different type of gear selector. I believe it's called "gated." those don't need you to push any button and it's on a tiny stick.

 

It won't fit. The 2.2CL and the 3.2CL's have a totally different shifter. Your model has the button on the shifter (shift-lock) whereas the newer ones don't. Plus, the Type S shift knob sits on a tiny stalk in the 3.2CL's and screws on.

It just won't work, sorry!

i have a manual trans. it should just screw oln

 

does it have the S on top?

if so, I wouldn't use it

 

you have been reading their forums... gate shifting is manualy shifting gears

 

No, it won't. The manual transmission shifter (on your car) has a much larger diameter than the Type S knob. It would be like trying to screw in a 20mm bolt into a 10mm hole. It just won't work. Why not just buy an aftermarket shift knob?

 

Why do you have to call me a noob, I thought we were cool?

I did not say anything about "gate shifting," so I don't know why you would bring it up. I was refering to the gear selector as being "gated" and not straight.

Look at this picture...See anything different than our gear selector?

So before you start calling people noobs, you better fukin' know your shit.

Sorry...and the Type S has the same type of shifter.
