The leather around the auto shift stick is "rotting" away, deteriorating... I now have the Type S emblem surrounded by the plastic underneath leather and the leather covering begins maybe 1/2 inch down. Any suggestions? Should I learn to live with it? in case I want to try and "upholster" again... how do I remove the knob? All the best for 2011 my friends!!!

 

The knob simply unscrews. Just turn it counter-clockwise. It might be tough, but it'll break loose.

As far as doing anything to repair it, I'd just purchase a new one.

 

^ I went with a nice Momo shift knob. Much better than the OEM one anyways.

 

x2...

 

Great! Thanks! will look for options to replace.

 

This is what I have in my Auto CL.

 

hey nf3... is it tricky when shifting into R or when changing from auto to sport shift? i mean, once you have the boot covering base?

 

^ That's just another pic of a manual setup, not of his actual car. I assume there would be no boot included unless that is an option.

 

Yeah that's just an example of the shift knob I have. No boot.

There were a couple of individuals who put a boot in or attempted to and it's just a wacky idea to me for an auto.

Also, I don't use the sport shift because I'm scccaarrreeedddd for me tranny!

 

I was wondering if the 2004 mdx auto shift knob could fit on our cars. I like it because it leather and wood

 

if you have the black ebony interior trim i'd go with the acura 07 tl-s auto shift knob... screws right on with no hassle. it's the carbon fiber look one

that's what i got.. love it

 

The 07 tl shift knob. Does look gd. But I have the tan interior with woodgrain

 

in that case i'd probably get the mdx matching wood style shift knob

 

i Wonder if anyone on here has done it yet. wanna know if it will fit.

 

if it's an acura auto it will fit if it's from 01-07 for the tl, mdx, and cl

 

OK cool thx
