2007 Euro Civic Type-R Shift Boot install
----------------------------------------------

Part #: 77298-SMT-E01ZA
Install time: 30 mins.

Pre-Work:
-Remove shift ****
-Pull up on the aluminum-look shifter base by grabbing from the inside (left and ride inside portions) -- boot assembly will pop off.



New boot next to old boot & assembly


Another pic, notice it uses a different clip inside the boot to attach the the Euro-R shift ****

So... unscrew the four screws from the stock assembly, remove the staples holding the boot on the the assembly and remove the stock boot.

Remove the staples from the Euro-R boot and detach the little loops, the CTR boot will pop off.

Pull the CTR boot over the stock assembly (its a bit smaller so it might be a little tight). I cut a few slits in the extended pieces of the CTR boot and slipped them over the sections where the screws go. I also taped up some sections inside the boot, once you have it secure reattach it to the aluminum-look shifter base.


What it looks like after its re-attached.

From this point you can re-install if you want, but i didnt like the clip on the CTR boot, so i replaced it with the one from the Stock Si boot.


Cut the zip tie off and pull the clip apart.


The two pieces removed from the CTR boot. (wont need these again)

Remove the stock piece buy cutting the zip tie that's holding the stock Si clip to the boot.

Slide the new clip into the CTR boot, as low as you want...the lower you install it, the less "extra material" will bunch up when you reinstall the boot).

Instead of using a zip tie, i used a baggie-tie type of tie (pulled it tight around the clip and twisted), when i used a zip tie you will see a bulge from the little nub where the tie goes through to tighten.


Si clip installed on CTR boot.

Reinstall and enjoy!

1 - I dont know what it is, but it's thicker than stock, seems to be the same material that the steering wheel cover is.
2 - according to them it's the heaviest **** on the market...(it's heavy)
3 - group buy would be cool, but i dont want anything to do with it...it took me long enough to find a place that would even get it for me. Dealing with places outside of the US isnt all that easy.
4 - I ordered it through a place called Lings, since i know everyone is asking.

5 - You might be better off waiting for the CTR FD2 boot, since it will be a direct replacement piece

Hm, true that. Although, impatience is a virtue.

where @?

 

(http://www.jdmland.com/ - do a search for FD2, and click on the **** or boot.)

I don't know about the FD2 boot. I think I actually like the boot displayed here better. Although, the **** from the FD2 needs to find a way into to my car...

 

Looks good but i think i like the flat black with red stitching someone had on an earlier post.

 

You mean this one?

 

looks great pete

 

With the circuithero you don't have to use the nut at the base of it, correct? Just tighten it all the way on?

Thanks!
