To those who replaced their shift knobs...

Well, I ended up looking to do that soda bottle fix, but my dad had other ideas. We ended up getting a bigger rubber ring (like the one that came with the knob) and replaced the black plastic piece with that. Because it was smaller, once the leather was in it and it was around the shifter base, it was snug and I got it tucked up underneath the knob.

Who knew you'd need a damn instruction set for this thing? On my Si, I just screwed the knob off myself, took the boot off the same way, did a little wire tie around the base and the boot rested on it, then put the new knob back on. It was easy as cake. This was a pain in the ***.
