Icon2 Question about shift ****

I have an 06 ex sedan with a manual. I want to put a nice aftermarket shift **** on it. Not looking to spend like 50 bucks, but can anyone make a few recommendations? I don't like the feel of the stock shifter ****, trying to start making a few customizations to my car. Thanks in advance for any help.

Mugen Si shift **** (in shape of a ball) is nice... it really depends what you like and feel you are looking for!

Just make sure the thread size is M10x1.5. I personally like weighted ***** (heavier which is one of the reasons most cost more). Most ebay ones are not weighted or only slightly.

I would look into a skunk2 ****. Most of them are around $40-50 but you can probably get a used one for $20.

I also have an 06 ex sedan and just purchased a new si shift ****. It screws on but doesn't line up right. I also had to change my shift boot because the ring at the top didn't fit. Hope this helps

Honestly a weighed shift **** is so ideal for the simple fact that it make shifting more enjoyable!

This is the one I'll be getting:

I have the skunk2 ****, I love it! also, to the guy that said his **** doesn't line up, what you have to do is screw the bottom screw up as you screw the **** down and make it meet at the spot you want it to be and it will be tight.

blox 490g shift ****. you can find one for about $50 new. by far one of the best investments I ever did for my 07 Civic EX. Sold the car and gave the shift **** to my buddy who drives an 05' s2k. His shifts are now smoother than ever.

Lol...that's literally the amount he doesn't want to spend.

OP, try this. They look great...but pair them with a factory nut. http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=250408935537

Also...I have a 6spd Si **** or a 5 spd skunk2 **** for $30 shipped anywhere in the continental USA.
