OEM Aluminum versus Titanium Shift Knob
#62
Wonder where 08U92-S6M-000 came from ... I had an RSX, trolled the RSX forums for years, and I've never heard of it. A quick Google search also brings back nothing except the USDM aluminum knob.
And again, for posterity, the 06+ Si knob 54102-SMT-E01 doesn't just "sit higher" - the collar it comes with will barely grab a few threads on the shift lever, and even then the knob will sit over 1" higher than stock. Alternatives: machine the lip off the bottom with a grinder, skip the nut or collar and have a crooked shift pattern, or chuck it at something you don't like. Or get the S2000 Ultimate Edition knob, which is what people think they're getting when they buy the 06+ Si knob.

The 08U92-S6M-200B appears identical to the '00-'01 aluminum knob, except possibly for the finish (brushed vs spun, as noted, though I'm just going by eBay photos). There's also a -200A which is the 5-speed version. I found them just by Googling, but as you noted, it's often hard to tell in which models/years/markets each knob was "officially" offered by Honda -- what's in the table is my best understanding. The thread pattern appears to be the same for all Honda knobs of the past couple decades.

The first 30 seconds of the installation video is a bit of a waste; I already know how to open a box.

Hmmm, if I put a big one on my car, perhaps she'll stop asking to borrow it.
