I had my mirror explode on me like most of you, and wanted to know how do I change out the silver piece, since its stained with that liquid from the mirror I looked online on acuraautomotiveparts.org, and from the diagram you can only get it by purchasing the entire shifter, which I dont need.Please if any one knows. Thank you

their was a company that u can send your mirror out and they will send u an updated on where it doenst have problem. or they just send u a new mirror that doenst have problems. only hear of this happening to a couple ppl

I wanted to change that same piece out but apparently that piece is not sold by itself. I checked at a dealer and they said that you have to purchase the whole thing. (#20)

god damn....by the looks of the pic may come all together, try sanding it down smooth, then paint it, cheapest method imo

how about chroming it? like some have done? i tried searching for hours for the chroming thread but yet to find it, i saw someone said to just use paint stripper and then youll get that chrome look but that doesn't sound right to me

that method only works for 99s. if you can find a shift plate from a 99 you'll lose the ability your use your first gear.
