For a while now I've had this shift **** from a 2003 Accord coupe 6-spd, Its the **** in the little storage place below the e-brake handle. I also have the DC-Sports shoft shift adapter that really shortens the throw front to back. The shifter movement from side to side is not much anyway. I wanted to lower the height of the shifter stalk, I was going to gut the threads off the shift lever and install a new shift **** that uses set screws to hold it in place. I got a new Sparc **** but whe removed the Accord **** I realized the factory **** is only a little over 1.25" deep. And the Sparco **** has a 3" internal shaft...So when I set it in place its perfect...And I didn't need to cut any threads off

Here is the Sparco **** on with the old **** in view.

Here is the Sparco ****, the lower rubber ring is what hides the (3) set screws


Now I need your help, what looks better? The pic above or the one below. I pulled the leather up and around the ****, I used a zip-tie where the large rubber ring was and then pulled it back over the ****...Does it look better?


Thanks guys...

I got the idea from my old 88 1/2 Turbo Supra...You can make a short shifter really easily on those vehicles...
But I totaled it

Niice. Looks real clean.

 

Thanks, thats what I was looking for.

 

I'm not crazy about the fact that the color is a bit off from the rest of the interior, but it does look nice.

 

Do I spy optional all-weather floor mats ?

I love mine.

 

Yes you did, they help a lot also.

The **** looked more gun-metal colored on the Sparco site, when its in the car it looks like blued steel....

 

the accord coupe shiftknob is the same as an S2k?

 

IMHO, it looks best wrapped around (3rd picture).

 

Do you like the feel of the new ****?

Yes, yes, and yes....It feels better, just keep an old sun-glasses bag or something for those cold mornings...Its like grabbing a ice cube

 

That's awesome looks beautiful. Too bad I have your older shift ****..
