I find the leather shift **** in the 04 mantran Accord to be just fine, with the exception of that cheesy plastic cap with the gear indicator markings.

I'd like to replace the **** with another one that has a better (or no) gear marking on top. The only catch is that it must properly fit the leather boot the same way the OEM one does.

I tried one nice aftermarket one today, but it wiggled and twisted much too much.

Thanks for your tips.

 

im not sure if its any different, but the shift ***** from the HFP V6's are realllllllly nice

 

You mean this one?

If so, it's very nice indeed. I'd be going out to find one right now, but my car is but a mere 5 speed.

 

oh....forgot about that.....well....a **** is a ****....if you like it and it feels nice in your hand, who cares if it has a little 6 etched into it

what if for some ungodly reason you decide to valet.....and then for some ungodly reason the valet takes it around the block and gets it up to "6th gear speed" ......crunch....oh wait thats reverse...

 

I had that in my car. The problem is that in the summer gets very hot (over 110 degrees) and the aluminum top branded my hand one afternoon afterwork. I replaced it with a top leather MOMO. OEM (same as pic) sitting in my garage if you want to buy it.
