Oh BTW, Webby told me to post this here. JDM FD2 Type R knob. Has a slight bronze tint to it. Love the feel and the slightly sportier look it give the car. Especially on rallye red

Feels heavier than the stock one. Have to put it on a scale to know for sure though. It's about a 1/4" shorter than stock though

Hey Gents,
I'm a newbie here. I've got a prob that some of ya'll might be able to help me with. I'm trying to remove the shift knob (metal on original gets too hot in Texas heat). I was able to pull the skirt down, but don't know how to remove the knob. I was able to twist (CCW) knob 1 rev but it is still tight. I don't want to mess it up, maybe knob is held by set screws and I'm just messing up the shaft??? Anyone done this yet on a 9th Gen Civic Si? I see Spicy's pic looks just like mine...how you do it Spicy?

 

[webby]

it tightens down against the black collar underneath the shift knob. Hold it as you untwist the top knob.

 

[spicy]

yeah you almost have to twist the collar the knob apart. they are tight together, but once you get it started, it loosens right off.

i ordered the twm shift extender, and a few save the manuals things. will update when its installed.

 

[scott]

can you replace the shifter on an automatic?

 

[machinemata]

Thanks Webby and Spicy...I'll try that ASAP!

If I got a mugen knob, it'd have to be the Mugen SI piece.

A few years ago I had one of the older Mugen "Formula" knobs. I liked it a lot, but with the stock shifter it was difficult to get it to screw down far enough due to the hump in it. My current car has the JDM Mugen Quickshifter which has a straight post, so maybe I should think about picking up another one.

I believe the TWM extender is, but make sure the one you bought is made of steel. I had an early Circuit Hero unit, but it was made of aluminium. It was difficult to put on/take off without using pliers of some sort, and since aluminium is soft it would get all scratched up during the process.

While I love my Fatboy it doesn't screw down quite far enough. With no effort at all it starts coming unscrewed during normal shifting.

I think the problem is with the stock 8th gen shifter shaft, the curve on it starts too early, the knob could actually screw down WAY lower, but the bend in the shaft prevents it. This is NOT an issue with 9thgens!

You're correct about the OEM 8th gen shifter. However, I'm using the Type R Mugen Quickshifter, which unlike it's USDM counterpart, has a straight shifter stalk.

That shift knobs (although in a different color) is probably the only thing at all I would ever think about ordering from PWJDM. I just dislike them as a company.
