I really like the looking of this shift knob sold in Europe as one of the accessory designed for Jazz

Is it possible to get one in Australia? :confused:

I'm going to ask the part department in the next service. But maybe some of you know where to get it :cool:

that looks like a s2000 gearkonb. cept that the H pattern is onli 5 speed. I'm pretty sure you could find something like that in Australia.

Good choice loo :thumbsup:

The genuine Type R titanium gear knob from dc2r / ek9 would look great. Here's mine to share :)

i just bought that $30 knob..it looks alrite..but i can't seem to align the numbers right..everytime i put it on the numbers aren't facing the right direction =\

wa stich love the pictures of the knob, how is yours so shiny?

if you want to get numbers aligned right what i do is stuff something semi solid down the knob like cardboard etc, add the stuffing little bit at a time till you get the numbers right and the knob is tight, bit rangi but does the job :thumbsup:

the other place to get one is through skunk2. theirs is a weighted shift knob that looks exactly like that. I believe it's 8 ounces.

Type R knob comes wth a screw nut that goes below the knob when fitted. it works in opposite direction to the knob, ( eg: u screw the knob clockwise downwards and the nut anticlockwise upwards ) then they will firmly tighten up wth whichever way u want the numbers to face. if ur knob doesnt come wth the screw nut..perhaps any nut wth the same thread may work??



wa stich love the pictures of the knob, how is yours so shiny?

well i always clean it wth cloth :)

Traders don' thave any in stock. I got mine from the US from Acura. Ask for the DC5 5-speed aluminium knob. It is original and comes in an Acura/Honda box. I paid $70 landed for my 6-spd aluminium with black numbers, brand new.

I'll PM you the link to the dealer's eBay store. He's a good bloke. A few of us has bought from him.
