I'm just curious on why people are changing their shift knob? I'm more than happy with the stock one, looks great, easy to handle and just goes with the vehicle.

If I had a Civic sport I would consider changing it but other than that I think Honda did a good job with the Si's.

I personally changed mine out for a type r ball type shift knob my reason for this was to have a slightly heaver knob feels a lot better imo

I forgot to post the pic of my shift knob in the Si, Spoon Sports Duracon:

Changed mine for upgrade purposes.. love the feel of the 2020 OEM Type-R knob.

I never liked the stock knob on my 2013 si or on my 17 si. Didn't like the metal and fake leather mix and as others have said, it gets to hot in the summer and way to cold in the winter. Purchased this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAHIT4C/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_HxJ5EbV3X0H3G: for my 13 si and transferred it to my 17 si when I purchased it in April of this year.

Hi, that seems pretty light. How does it feel compared with OEM?

Would you happen to have the part number for that 2020 type R shift knob? I only ask as a few of the Honda sites are showing three different ones, and all say it will not fit an Si? Also your shift boot upgrade was that required to work with the 2020 R knob? I think it is a very classy upgrade and looks great! Thanks..

The proper part number is: 54102-TGH-G00
The sites will probably list it as not fitting an Si but it will screw right on without issue. You can reuse your same shift boot and collar or you can upgrade like I did with the acuity collar and boot of your choice- either option should suffice.

And thanks! I do love the setup!!

Why? Because its a nice fairly cheap mod, I personally went with the 27won after going thru a couple other knobs. I should probably list them on the classifieds.

Recently changed mine with the kind assistance from Memnoch who confirmed this was a screw on swap. I did however cut one inch off the lever to bring the Type R knob a bit lower (though you cannot really tell in this photo)
