What woodgrain shift knobs from other acura models fit our 1st gen TL's? I've seen a few with the burl shift knobs with the acura "A" symbol on them but It never stated what model they got it from? If this can b done is it simple plug and play kinda thing or is there some modding that goes with it to make it fit?

 

I think 1G MDX is the one people use most..

 

Almost any screw on manual shiftknob will work.

~Cheers~

 

RL knobs, especially '04 if you can find one at a good price

 

Sweet! Ima look into the mdx and rl knobs. Thanks..

 

Im rockin a tan leather stitched Legend knob. Matches my interior very nicely

 

I have been trying to find an RL knob in a salvage yard for a while now but no luck.

 

That's what I have. Love it!

 

Is it the same size and thread pitch as older honda shift knobs?

 

I just bought one on eBay

 

Post a pic man!

 

I will, once its delivered. If I can find the pic from ebay, I'll post it

 

How much did you end up paying for it?

 

$35 I think. Someone was bidding against me for it

 

Got it in the mail today. It doesn't fit :'(
The hole is too small for my shaft....first time THAT'S ever happened! Lol
I guess I will have to customize.

Sorry for double-post

 

I had to *carefully* drill and re-thread the new knob, but its on now. It's made of real wood, even!

how did you drill and re thread finally got time to mess with it.. i got the 04 mdx knob..

 

There is a small Phillips head screw inside the threaded hole, remove it.
I found a drill bit that was just barely bigger than the original hole. The bit should self-center its self, but be very careful. I had to drill down until I started getting wood shavings with the plastic.
Next, you need a 10x1.5mm tap. Again, it should self-center, but be very careful. If it is too hard to thread, go down the hole with a slightly larger drill bit. Don't go to large, or the threads you'll be making won't have any strength.
I used a few drops of atf as lube for the tap.
I did all this while holding the knob in one hand. If you use a vise, be sure to use a towel, so the knob isn't scarred.
