This is easily one of the most thorough shift boot/ retainer videos - thanks for the tips on cutting the boot and using a flush zip tie!
Dylan Derringer thank you!
"This thing is heavy, so... don't drop it"
*drops it*
Hahahahaha I know, right? 😂
Joemakesmovies I dropped mine too dw. Those stock ones get beat up quick don’t they? And I have a 9th gen!
Homie even had the fukin gloves hahaha wtfff
Even the gloves can't help my clumsiness
Thanks for the help. I got a new bride boot, silver retainer off of Amazon and hybrid racing Shift knob for my RSX and wanted to see how it would all work.
I'm glad I could help! Let me know how you like that shift knob. I'm a big fan of Hybrid Racing's products.
@@RealJoeMakesMovies will do
All you need to do to help keep the stock boot ring up against the shift knob, is electrical tape... and there's no need to remove the shift knob when doing this easy fix. Pop up/off the boot's plastic trim piece, then pull up the leather boot up so you can see the metal shaft under it. Push the boot ring all the way up against the shift knob's base, then proceed to wrap electrical tape around the shaft (up against the shift boot ring). Make sure you build up/wrap the electrical tape onto itself in a neat way. Keep wrapping until it's thick enough to keep the shift boot ring from sliding down the shaft. Fixed for less than $1. ;-)
Awesome, I've ordered a similar one to fit in my mazdaspeed 3 (with aftermarket boot and gear knob) and I was really nervous about how it's going to work, this has cleared it all up for me
I'm glad I could help! If you have any more questions, just leave a comment and I'll try to help out.
Clean ... gonna order one today
Hey does this retainer cause the shift knob to be more high up? Just curious because i want to order one but i really don’t want my shift knob to go higher than it already is lol
It does cause it to go up higher. They do make a lower profile one that does not raise it that much. Here's a link to it. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F370958984334
Joemakesmovies wow thanks a lot brother, and i appreciate the quick response 💪🏼👌🏻
@@nv1rb592 you're welcome, man. Any more questions, just let me know and I'll try my best to answer them.
Nice 👍🏼
I have Honda fit gk5 how do I open the plastic trim it's not coming off
I don't have extensive experience with the manual GK5s, but I would assume there's a way to pop off the silver plastic trim around it. Look around the bottom edge of it for a small tab to pry from. If not, it's possible the whole center console needs removed.
