So I wanted to put in a weighted shift knob like redevil but I can’t figure out how to get mine off, usually it’s just a screw on knob but I can’t get it off to save my life Reading through the Internet it says there is a 17 mm nut at the base which might be true but I cannot access that since I have a plastic round housing at the base where the knob meets the shift lever and boot. Anyone have any suggestions ? ---

![http://i.imgur.com/8UafG.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/8UafG.jpg) Sounds like the boot clips to the collar, have to twist the boot 90\* and down to access the nut. In my Tsx, it just twisted off, counterclockwise. I did use rubber clamp to get leverage to spin it though. These guys suggest a strap wrench, same idea.

wait so does that mean once i take the knob off since i have to rotate the boot 90\* to get the the nut, that i can just do the reverse and it wil go back up and i will not have a hanging lose boot? ---

I… have no idea. :rofl Mine has some gap between the boot and knob yes, like half a centimeter maybe. Whenever I pull the console apart so I can swap radios, I will be sure to take pictures. I know mines a different gen, but they are all Hondas, and pretty much the damn same car. Have to see how much of a bitch your console would be to get under. If you can get under the boot easy enough, just do a ziptie on the shifter to hold the boot and it wouldnt matter, because you wouldnt see anything.
