Not only that, our Aluminium shift knob is a $70 option in a RSX.

If you want a different feeling knob, get the voodoo knob. So far I haven't noticed it holding the heat that the stock knob does. Others have said that they still feel the heat. I got the pearl spun finish one.

Makes for a shorter throw because it threads farther down onto the shaft, which also makes it sit right on top of the boot. Never have had a problem with the boot being lower than the bottom of the shifter knob with it.

Looks like that idea was not such a good one. What I liked was that it has the same 6-sp gear pattern.

Thanks for your inputs.

I currently have this:


but I am still in search of a shift knob for the winter. (I do not mind it being hot nearly as much)

I am considering suede covered shift knob by Sparco ($45):


and Razo ($20):


but both are too tall for liking...

Having driven an RSX type S, I also think the shift knob isn't as nice in real life as it appears in the pictures.

I also think it stands a tad taller than our stock knobs so it might actually lengthen throws just a tad.

DONT PUT AN RSX shiftknob on your STOOK, it is a total downgrade, like putting prelude SH rims on your STOOK

lolz, value people!! you know the price difference between a RSX shiftnob and a S2000 one?? I've had my friends who have Integs and Preludes asking me for my shiftnob, and RSX is about the same class as those (just nicer looking ofcourse, but you get my point), why would you downgrade yours?? even if you want to, you can just go up to any RSX owner and ask them if they wanna trade, I bet you they will, and call you a sucker after you leave

I've come to the conclusion that an RSX-S shift knob is not the way to go. I'm going to buy a MOMO Race Airleather knob. Would include a pic if I knew who to insert
