2001 Accord Shifter Issue
Guys im new to this forum and my accord. However I did search here and couldn't find anything for my issue so here it goes.
The car is a 2001 Ex 4 cylinder 5 MT
I changed my shift **** recently which i was able to do.
However the problem is that the replacement **** is not attached to the OEM boot and the boot is just hanging there and moves around.
I can not get that chrome ring in between the boot and the **** off.
Do you have any idea how to take that piece out of the boot?
well, the plan is to take that part off and maybe zip tie the boot onto the shift pole, so it would wiggle around anymore.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
If you take a look at the diagram below, you'll notice that this shifter boot o-ring is attached to the top of the shifter boot itself. Therefore, it will be a challenge to extricate the o-ring from the boot without scarring the boot material.
With that said, here's what I would try: with a nice and sharp pair of needle nose pliers, gingerly pry the o-ring off of the boot. You may find that using an X-Acto knife to assist with the removal process a great help. The knife may be used to remove some of the material before you start trying to pry it off with the needle nose pliers.
It's going to be a tricky job but hopefully you'll successfully accomplish it

Do you know if a shift **** from a '98 Accord will fit a '97 Accord. I am trying to put a leather **** in mine. The picture form the instructions I have look the same (boot hole and **** tang) as mine but before I invest $40, I would like to be sure.
