would i be able to put a shift boot on my cousins automatic?

 

I've seen it done before... What is the purpose, to make it look like a manual?

 

no theres a big crack running a cross the shift box dealy and my cousin refuses to buy a new thing, he has the same car as me but a 96... you think hed be able to just buy a boot and put it on?

 

I imagine it would be possible, but it'll probably be harder to try to get it to work than it would be to just replace what's already there.

 

yes it can be done easily acually a few auto's on here have it done even with a new shifter to make it look manual.

 

you think he can just find an accord boot, and put it on? you mean shifting ****? he has one, like you push down

 

It's been done many times over. A lot of members on V6P have done it and I'm going to do it soon.

 

oh are you doing it with your automatic? tell me how it goes, i might do it to mine too...but i feel weird since itll look like a mt, but its really an at....hahaha fool them!!!

 

Im doing it to mine also until i can afford a swap, i think it looks cleaner then the big over sized auto handle . I belive you just buy a boot and take out the middle part that goes over the radio and auto shifter then slide the bood over the auto shifter and shaft and then put the middle piece back on and it should be in there pretty tight. Would be nice though for someone to post a pic of the cars that have it so it would be easier for u to see that it really isnt hard or anything.

 

The boot takes like 2 seconds to install. Very simple and straight forward. All the center console pieces are held down by clips. I could tell you how to do it without even doing it myself.

 

hmmm cool beans... ill tell my cousin and stuff about this..i think i might do it to my car...it would look cleaner...hopefully we can take out the center counsel easy enough with out brakinng it ^_^

 

My car might be a little different than yours, but I'm pretty sure it'll all work the same. I have a 2001 coupe V6. When I get my **** I'll post a DIY in this thread.

 

so what kind of boot am i suppose to get? am i suppose to get a boot made for a 97 honda accord for mine and a 96 accord for my cousin's and just slip it on and stuff?

 

You can get a generic boot from eBay, a boot made for the manual version of your car, or I've even heard of people getting them from other cars. There's a 6th Gen who I asked and he got his boot from an EK Civic.

 

Can someone post instructions for this project? I just bought a Autoshift **** off of ebay

 

I should be getting my **** at the end of this week maybe, I'll post a DIY in here so you guys can all see it. The boot I used was an OEM 6th Gen 5 Speed boot for the I4's. It's so so so simple you guys will be amazed haha.

 

Would any other boot fit on a 5th gen Auto?

 

Probably, try an EK Civic shift boot, a DC Integra shift boot, or if you can find one an OEM one.

 

hmm you think a universal boot will do...do they haev those?... oem? huh...

 

Yes a universal one will work. The OEM one will be a cleaner look and feel though. They have generic ones on eBay.

 

whats OEM mean?

 

OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer

basically it's what you get when you buy directly from Honda and not some aftermarket company

 

does anyone know where i can buy a automatic shift **** that doesnt have a button...like you push it down...i went to drivers image...or a car store thing....and they didnt have em...only the one with a button...is there a site i can go to order..or like can i only get it on ebay....

 

ive seen them at advanced auto parts but they are like 20-30 bucks, ebay would be cheaper.

 

There's a Razo one you can buy... you just push the whole thing down. Check Cardomain's store, I believe they have it.
