Hey guys I searched for a good 20 minutes and couldnt find anything on this subject. How do i change out the shifter on the automatic stick and do you all have any sites you can recommend where i can purchase different kinds of shift knobs? Thank you!

 

Yep..I have the OEM wood shiftknob which you can buy at the dealership. I love it, it's a bit bigger than the normal one and feels alot better too

 

Just unscrew it. It comes right off. Fleebay has a good selection. I also have the OEM wood shifter. Looks great.

 

twist. hard. couterclockwise.

 

+1 You gotta twist pretty damn hard. You'll think it won't come off but you just gotta twist really hard

 

lefty loosey
righty tighty

 

Same as everyone else- turn counterclockwise. I have the 07 TL-S CF knob. A LOT lighter than the stock!

 

lol..
I think its time to change my shift knob. I never really thought about changing it until this thread

 

Knob.

 

Ever since I installed mine the car idles better, gets better gas mileage and acceleration off the line is greatly improved. Did I mention the mod is worth at least 10hp.



LOL

 

NICE, what kind did you get.:0

 

I installed the 2007 Carbon Fiber TL-S shift knob and it looks sick, ebay has it for a great price. Just twist left and it will come off, twist right to install.

 

Most MT shift knobs work on our AT's.......I had a MOMO on for awhile, but really like our stock knob so went back.

 

Turn to the left as hard as you can without breaking it and then you will be able to put the new shift knob on when you finally get it.

 

Besides the Type-S one, are there any nice classy ones? All the ones i've seen are so ricer-ish.

 

ive been looking into changing my shift knob for awhile as well, but when i really think about it and look at it, the stock one is pretty badass.

 

^^ It really is. Its something I take for granted, but when I go in other cars w/ auto trans (AV6, G coupe, BMW, Audis etc...) They all have the same shiftknobs from like the 90's with the push-release. And they're HUGEEEEE

 

some locks are lefty locky
righty ..i don't know

hahahha

 

Funny... my wife said that about my..... oh, wait, shift knobs?




I was surprised by the nice configuration and compact size of the TL auto's shift knob-- I didn't realize it didn't use a lock button until I drove it. It is nice...

 

Here's a link to one on eBay - I had no idea they would this expensive! I was definitely thinking under $40. Guess I was sure wrong, haha. For $72...to me, it isn't worth the change, when ours looks pretty good as is. (the CF one is nice though).

 

i wanted an 2g type s shift knob,but the leather with c/f flows so well......

 

 

That looks really good. That makes me want to go out and buy some kind of nice shift knob for my first gen now.

 

that's really classy. where did you get that from?

 

It looks crooked in the pic lol. But it's was the angle the picture was taken at.

 

no he purposely left it crooked cuz it is comfortable to the hand

 

That's the one that came stock on my '07 TL-S.

 

I found an all CF shifter from AutoZone, I'll think I swap it in now, heres to hoping for the best.

 

That is the 2007 TL-S CF shift knob. Bought on e-bay from Acura of Escondido.

 

DING DING DING! You win! Plus it also adds 5-10 HP because of the light weight.

 

Haha, I have mine turned as well

 

i had a carbon fibre momo on it.. but it kept twisting on me cuase it wasnt a screw in knob.

 

FYI... the size thread needed for an aftermarket shift knob is 8mmx1.25
