If you don't mind having an incorrect shift pattern, this is the BEST knob I have ever felt/used. Feels great in your hand and shifts awesome with the added weight.

Maven Countersunk Shift Knob is the best for the 6MT.

There are many reviews on this site.

You just tired of it or having some issues? I looking into this set for the short shifter and the knob itself (I'm more into the short throw + short rod look).

Anyone tried the Mugen Si shift knob? Part number 54102-XVJ-000 and cost $116 straight from any online Honda dealer.



5-speed version for the FIT 54102-XTK-000 $87+ from online honda dealers:



Mugen also has a carbon fiber knob with either a black or red stripe around it ($100+ on ebay):



Honda also sells a yellow 6MT knob & boot for the S2000 CR 54102-S2A-C00 $53 at the dealer:



....and a red one from the JDM Civic Type R 54102-SMT-E01 ($30+ on ebay)

Not a fan of metal knobs. They burn your hands in summer and are frigid in winter. I had an aluminum knob before and wouldn't do it again.

I love my Maven. You learn to cover it up in the summer though when parked.

Yes, as long as you get the correct thread. Just don't get a knob that has etchings for a manual, because that's just wrong

From what I understand it doesn't matter what the transmission is. The only thing you have to look at is the thread that allows the knob to be screwed on. I don't know what it is exactly, but I believe all Hondas/Acuras use the same size.
