[m0nk3y]

looking to change my gearknob and i read this on clubrsx

http://www.clubrsx.com/instructions/pdf/shiftknob.pdf

do u need to do all those steps, i though it was just a screw off,screw on procedure like some gearknobs

or are those instructions just for OEm gearknobs etc>

Some USDM shiftboot and gear knobs differ to jdm and audm ones.

I know for the AUDM DC5R its unscrew off and screw on.

well if thats the case, it should be the same for my dc5lux

You can always take off the boot and place a couple of rubber grommits over the stick so that the Boot has something to stop it from falling down.

I think i read somewhere on club rsx of somebody going for this approach.
Maybe just put some zip ties on the stick under the boot but dont cut off the excess, that should hold it in place quite easy.

Does the DC5 lux have a metal knob or plastic knob? If it is plastic like in that PDF, then you just follow the same and pull the boot down before unscrewing.

Just put a ring of velcro around the stick under the boot and if your stick is a dual-bend, it'll hold up fine.

all you need is get some double sided tape (nice thick one) and wrap about 2cm of it around the stick near the top of the stick. (a bit more than the length of that silver plastic collar thing) you can "unmask" the tape as well if you want.

then just pull the boot over it and it should be fine. the boot stays up and if you need to move it, you can pull down on it easily.
