I installed a ctr the one with the red stitching in my hatch 96. NO Problems with the install. I wanted it to stay up, but it doesn't it looks limp not rock hard up. well i thought it was because my old boot didn't have that plastic ring, it didn't stay up. the new old has it but no luck it goes limp. some one know what to do or how to fix it. i was going to put a washer on the shifter but don't know if it will work when i get a different ****. i just want the boot to stay up any help?

 

get a short shifter. i got B&M and it holds up.

 

really how does that short shifter hold it up??

 

think what he meant was that with short shift its exact fit

 

yes it does

 

damn any other way really don't want to buy more things for my car. i think it has a short shifter already not sure but it's crome not black like my other civic 97

It isn't supposed to stay up. It should leave some of the shifter exposed like this one (from an ITR):

 

What do you mean by "rock hard up"?

I don't think leather shift boots need to be hard at all. Sounds like you have some technical difficulties.

Maybe see an orthopod.

Kidding aside, yeah there should be probably 1"-2" between the boot top and the ****. I pushed mine all the way down so about 8" of the shifter is exposed. I think it looks neat and I can show off ym skunk2 bling.

 

wrap some rubber bands under the ****. that will keep the boot where you want it

 

but i want it not show the shifter don't think it looks right. check this one out https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1935496. Thats what i want it to look like.

by rock hard up i meant all the way up. like in that link.

 

as alkready posted use some rubber bands under the boot place the rubber band at the desired height you want the shift boot to sit at

 

i would just leave it like Padawan said.

 

take some black electrical tape and wrap it around the shifter, wrap it around enough times to where the boot's hole can't slide over the tape, and there you have it. Ive been rocking mine that way for over a year

 

I had the same problem with my EH3. All I did was use a ziptie and put underneath the plastic ring on the boot. That will keep your boot up no problem.

 

thanks for the help guys i'm going to fix it monday

thats what I did and it looks and works fine

 

The way I do it, and it works PERFECTLY, is two neoprene washers from a hardware store. Take your entire shifter console off, put the neoprene washers on, and then replace your boot and console. Then start threading your shift ****, and slowly push your boot down as needed. It'll stay perfectly flush.
