Hey
I just bought a black 2003 CL Type S, and was looking into getting a sportier shift knob as my first purchase for the car. I really like the look of this Momo,

but I've read in earlier posts that the fit isn't great for the CL's and they tear up the threading. Any input on how the Momo's fit? Do they rest lower than the stock knob? How is the connection between the knob and the stock boot?

And any ideas on better shift knobs? going for the ball type knob with not too much chrome

Thanks guys.

 

For that much money you can get the factory S-2000 knob. Screws right on and looks a lot better than the MOMO IMHO.

 

Or a 2004 - 2006 Acura TL 6-Speed shift knob.

 

I went with a S2000 knob. Its nice and heavy...solid aluminum, it feels much better than stock. My roomie has a 6sp TL and I think the S2000 knob feels a bit more solid, but its a little smaller...depends on what feel you like.

 

if you're looking to shorten the actual shifter, shift knob wont really help you with that.

A short shifter is what you're looking for... Im not too familiar with what the 2nd gen market is like for one, but I've got one for my first gen and I'd have to say its definitely one of my favorite mods.

 

Guys its easy to shorten it.. But u have to be careful. I ma do mines and when i do it i ma post the rules to how u do it on here..

 

Naw, wasn't lookin for shorter shifting. I know that's one of the CL's strong points, so didn't wanna mess. Just don't like the bulky stock knob. I found a used 2006 Civic SI 6 speed OEM knob that looks pretty nice online. Might go with that route. Thanks for all the input guys, esp. for my first post

 

I just looked at the Civic knob, looks just like the TSX knob.
I like my TSX 6speed knob, similar to the S2000, has the black perforated leather and the shift pattern is in red, the S2000 is in black.

 

some of the momo looks nice, and they don't thread to the shaft. It uses 3 screws to hold the knob in place. I have momo in mine, along with the shift boot. I'll try to take some pics tonight ... i really like to look of it

 

I too have the same thing....and like the feel of it...plus the red makes it match the shift boot colors....and the leather will help once it gets hot/cold....to keep your hand for fully burning/freezing...

 

I was looking at this one

 

Acura dealership wants $90 for the new TL type S 6speed shift knob. Its very nice but the leather isnt perforated so it wouldnt match my boot

 

I had a true Hurst T-Handle on mine. I liked it.

Any knob will work, you have to be creative with the boot. The boot will not fit right.

 

i had the one from ricks2k, pretty good and countersunk

 

anyone has pics of the 07' TL shift knob? been looking around, but yet no luck. Post up pictures!!! Thanks

 

stole this from the tsx forum. enjoy!!! lol

 

that pic looks pretty money. Anyone know where to pick up one of these. I like the one with the black shift pattern better than red

 

You're a dork.

 

TSX knob.

 

theres one in the black market forum up for like 40 bucks now i think....should look...

i havent attempted to look online, i went to the dealership and saw the brochure. My first impression was that it looked alot like the s2k shift knob.

 

MSW...... i looks like the shift knob on the picture below my previous post lol

 

<-----

 

Mad props to the Hurst t-handle! LOL! I really hope you are joking. I have the '06 TL knob. The stock '03 cls6mt boot snaps directly to it with no modification and it looks so much better.

 

He really isn't...it's in the photograph gallery somewhere...

EDIT:

 

WOW! I dont know what to say. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

 

Will a GTI shift knob fit on my CL-S?

 

perhaps any pics of this 06 TL setup?

 

I did Momo knob and Momo boot. Way to go, in my opinion.

 

Is there a difference between the 07 TL Type S knob and the 04-06 TL knob? I was about to order it on acuraoemparts.com and both descriptions say "graphite black", but there is a price difference? I don't mind paying extra if I have to, but don't want to get suckered either. The Type S knob is actually cheaper...

 

Is that a "NO"?

 

I did it as a joke. Just like the Papa Johns signs. I did it to get a laugh out of people. chill out, mang.

 

No hard feelings, I am laughing and chilling out.

 

I just purchased the 2006 tl - s shift knob for $70 bucks through acuraoemparts.com

 

FUZZY i have yet to fix my boot
