EDIT: I solved my issue. See post below: Solution
Last Friday evening I picked up my new 2020 Civic Type R here in Florida. Saturday, I got in the car and almost burned my hand on the shift knob. I ordered the accessory leather-wrapped shift knob (08U92-TEA-110) and it came in today. I installed it and the OEM lock nut (54103-TGH-G00) has no flange which means the boot collar is too wide for the base of the new knob.
I looked up the 2019 lock nut (54103-TGH-A00) and found a photo showing its size. To fit my boot collar, the lock nut latch surface needs to be about 1/2 inch from the flange.
The 2019 lock nut latch surface appears to be about 5/8 inch from the flange which would leave a 1/8 inch gap.
What lock nut can I use that will work? Has anyone come up with a solution?
Right now it looks like this because I don't want to latch it until I have a solution. It was a real bear to release the collar from the nut!
