i notice that the newer tl have a different shift knob with a trim of carbon fiber (atleast i think it is) in the middle for automatic. I was wondering would it fit 04-05 models and where can i find this part? i search acuraoemparts but it only has the wood one.

its the type s shift knob that you are looking for....do a search on ebay for tl type s shift knob and you will find it....

 

I just got this shift knob for my Type S. It's a Momo product. It looks great and I like it much more the stock Type S knob. The best thing is it's a universal shift knob.

^very nice!
Did you get the silver one or the carbon fiber?

are you looking to get rid of your stock TL-S knob?

 

i was looking at the knob with the carbon insert, but then i thought hey there is nothing wrong with the one i have on the car....

take a pic so we can see what it looks like in your car....

 

Guys, Momo also has one with Carbon Fiber in it, but I opted for the one with the silver inset because it sets off the silver trim around the center console. I felt like the Carbon Fiber shift knob would only be recreating what originally came with the car. And the real reason I switched is because you couldn't really see the carbon fiber inset in the original shift knob. I'll take a picture of it and post later tonight.

 

Here are pictures of the Momo shift knob I got for my Type S.




It is a universal shift knob and attached with 3 spacer screws.

 

^^ I really like that I think I just may order me one too. Was it easy to get off the stock shift knob?

 

It wasn't bad...I was nervous about doing it because I didn't want to break the stem. But you just turn your original shift knob counter clockwise. I got it on EBAY....just search for Momo shifters.

 

yep, that was the one i was looking at....i do like that, i really like the stitching in the different color as well...thanks for the pic...

 

how does the momo shifter secure to the shaft...what are the spacer screws you refered too, are they the same as set screws that just tighten into the shaft...is the knob itself larger than the oem one....

 

Check this one out.
Carbon Fiber Shift Knob

I believe I saw this in an old thread. I'm sure someone else gave me the idea.

 

Guys, the spacer/set screws are 3 screws that you must tighten while you position the knob evenly in the center of the stem. So if you tighen one screw too tight, the other ones will not screw in properly. I guess you could call them set screws...you just need to make sure all 3 screws evenly tighten against the shaft. The Momo knob is larger than the original, but I think it looks better. Plus, when the shifter is in the park mode, you can still easily get into both storage compartments in front of the shifter.

 

any other shift knobs out there worth mentioning for autos?

 

Id much rather keep my shift knob than pay 100 dollars for one that looks a little diffrent...

 

Razo black wood i paid 50 sorry for the old crap pic

 

Hey that's the same one that I've got. Awesome.

 

is the shift knob the same in the 07 type S as the 08 type S?

ebay does have them but for the same price you can order it directly from acura. i rather have the piece of mind knowing if something goes wrong i can always send it back where as ebay is always hit or miss. i just want to make sure they are the same so im talking about the same one, i want the type s shift knob with the carbon fiber in the middle

 

its the same one.....

 

Can i use a sphere knob on my automatic? or do i have to stay with that L shaped knob?

 

You should be able to use either. See your original post for pics.

 

Yep the shift knob your talking about is the Type-S shift knob. I was at the Acura dealership talking to my buddy who's a sales rep at the one down here where I live about the new TSX that's coming out turbo'ed and he asked me I wanted to take the Type-S for a test drive and I said sure. I noticed the carbon fiber shift knob right away. When I got back from the test drive I called Tim from Ray Laks Acura in NY and order the shit knob for about $80 shipped I believe. Tim's also the guy I order my Aspec Lip kit from for $750 shipped when there was a groupbuy awhile back.
