I've been looking at the 2009 Acura TSX AT shift Knob for my EX sedan.
http://www.acura.com/index.aspx?initPath=TSX
It is leather with a boot and looks similar enough to possibly work. Give some opinions or insight.
Thanks

'08 TSX's OEM leather-covered automatic-transmission shift-knob was ~$128 and stitched shift-boot was ~$22 (both discounted off MSRP from online Acura OEM parts store)... ;)
Gotta pay... to play!

looks as though you would have to replace all of the pieces from the plate up, and i dont think the plate looks to be of the same footprint

I have a hard time paying the same amount for a knob as I did for my leather wheel. At least my wheel I touch more often :)

Well...no one likes to cover the knob in plastic. :naughty:
I'm all for the leather, but it seems to be more than a clean swap. The Acura plate will not match the short throw of the Accord. Also the shaft opening is so much shorter and thinnner (man this is sounding bad).
I need to stop.
