does this thing somehow unscrew?

i have slid the boot down, but can't figure out how to get the shift **** off.

i've tried unscrewing it, but it won't budge.

what am i doing wrong?

 

well, i looked on ebay, and there are many shift ***** for 98-02 accords that are screw on's.

so, what am i doing wrong? do i just muscle it off, or is there some trick?

 

try harder. it unscrews. lefty loosey. you might need pliars, it is on tight.

 

yep. just put some muscle into it. it'll come off

 

thanks, i'll try harder.

don't want to break anything

 

i just did this to my car a few days ago...
theres a small zip tie holding the boot to the lower part of the stock ****, ull have to cut that (at least i did) then everything unscrews with ease

i recommend putting a new zip tie back on just to keep the boot looking nice

my boot has a chrome ring that clips in to the bottom of the ****.

i finally got the **** to unscrew, but it was VERY hard.

i literally had to put all my strength in to it.

but i have nothing to replace it, so i just screwed it back on

 

What are you going to replace it with?

I had at one time thought about a leather shift ****, but never felt like paying $40 or $50 for one so I've just stayed with the OEM rubber one.
