hi, i got myself a 07 and a blox shift knob. I saw some of you guys have another shift knob setup and eliminate the gap between the shift knob and shift boot as pic below. Just wonder how can i do it ?

Current gap
ideal setup, no gap

 

you can buy countersunk shift knobs such as Moddiction sells, they work well. moddiction.com

 

Or remove the console with the knob attached so it can't come completely off and pull up on it so it's fairly snug on the knob. Put a zip tie around near the base of the knob. Reinstall the console and you now have a boot that looks more fitted.

 

Here is a post from my build thread to show what I did:





Very simple to modify to fit. The S2000 shift lever starts tapering out pretty quickly once past the threaded section, so the collar would hit against it and keep it from going down far enough to fully seat. All I had to do was remove the bottom section of 6-8mm. I left the little lip section on the bottom of the collar so I would have something to put the rubber grommet on to hold up the shift boot. The rubber piece I am using is from an S2000 rear caliper rebuild kit I believe and fits perfectly on this collar. I was able to trim this piece with a cordless Dremel no problem.







This does cause the shift knob to sit just a few threads higher than it does with the regular nut which isn't the end of the world. The collar replaces the nut and seats directly up agains the shift knob. I put some flat notches in that bottom lip so I can easily remove the collar later with a wrench if needed. I don't really notice the slight height difference so far. It also adds a little bit more weight to the very light FD2-R shift knob which is definitely a good thing.
