people seem to use a ring of electrical tape or a zip-tie on the shifter underneath the boot, at the hight you want it to sit at.

Re: Skunk2ShortShifter , Shiftboot? (Dc2 Powered)
no special tricks, just put a small Zip tie under the boot on the shifter itself.
BTW.... Honda sells a special part for the S2000 to hold up the shiftboot...
When I asked for this part... do you know what they gave me???
A ZIP TIE! in a authentic Honda bag with an authentic part #
NO JOKE this is real!!!
you want to know what they were asking for it??? 5 bucks.
Save yourself the trouble, just buy a zip tie yourself for less than 5 cents and do the same thing

nah, if u had a skunk2 shortshifter uw ould know it is thin as hell to the bottom of the 2nd bend and the ring dont grab the top.
edit: yea the skunk2 shortshifter is same size as a stock one so it sits in the same place etc. but you can feel a difference. its great.

don't you have spare washers? i had the same problem with the skunk **** before. I wanted the shift boot to sit higher, so i just threw on a washer.

Hmm, good info guys 
The black plastic ring on my shiftboot is cracked so it droops on my stock shifter Its ok though i have gotten used to it. I will have to try this out.

how is the locknut supposed to work. I bought a used skunk2 **** and shifter. I installed shifter long time ago, but never put on the ****, because I didn't get the nut w/ it. So, how are you supposed to put it on there? Call me stupid.
