Default CTR shift boot

Hey, what's up guys, the problem of the week is that i installed a OEM CTR shift boot and now the stock shifter won't fit. I could force it in, but i think that the little ring on top might break. Any suggestions? Right now i am using a ITR replica shift ****, that's the only other **** i can use that i have. Also, do you guys think a si or ls/gsr shift **** will fit withouth breaking the plastic ring?

If i put it to the point where it touches the ring it still feels loose.

A CTR boot won't work with the CX/DX/LX/EX shift ****. Not sure about an Si ****, but I know a GS-R leather works.

Of course. They're Type-R knockoffs.

So for sure a gsr leather will fit? If so any one got hook-ups in the socal area in a Acura dealership? The gsr one looks comfortable.

A CTR boot will accommodate most aftermarket shift *****. The only problem is how deeply countersunk the oem **** is.

Also, if you're **** like me and hate that look of the shift boot sagging when you have a type r or type r-style **** (ie, skunk2, blox, etc), you can use two neoprene rubber washers (available for all of $0.10 each at a hardware store) on the shifter arm, and then install the shift boot over it.

Cool, thanks for the tip, i used to put tape in shifter arm in order to make it hold, a lil ghetto, but it got the job done, well, atleast is used black electric tape so no one could see it. Also, would any one know where to get the bolt that comes w/ the itr shift ****, i'm guessing a hardware store, but what size.
