Shift knob removal

[konig52r]

ok this is probably a retarted question, but how do you remove the shift knob? i look in the diy's and found nothing.
and the steering wheel with airbag. how does that come off?

[eazyduzit509]

If its a stock shiftknob, then it unscrews. I had an aftermarket shiftknob for a while that had a plastic piece that screwed on then it used allen head screws to secure the knob on. I recently took that crap off which lowered my know a good inch or so. As for the steering wheel with the airbag, im not sure how to take the wheel off, and i dont believe aftermarket steering wheels are available for our accords with airbags...

[konig52r]

yea its stock, but how does it come off? from the top? how?
and i want to put a stock wheel on it. either a 90 or that prelude wheel. is that possible?

I believe IF its a stock boot on the knob, somehow the boot unclips from the shifter knob. Now, grab the shifter knob itself and turn it to the left (UNscrew it). It may be a little tough at first but its threaded on. And im really not sure if we can put anykind of steering wheel on our accords that have airbags, the whole proccess is a mystery to me, I do have an aftermarket wheel on my accord, its 13" (alot smaller), but i dont have airbags. And i wanted to keep my cruise control so i extended the wires down to the bottum of my seat and wired/drilled some small holes for some little cruise buttons, (they look like little red NOS buttons that r on tuner steering wheels ecxept 3X smaller). No one would know i had cruise unless i showed them... (sleeper cruise).

And the knob unscrews from the top.

Sleeper cruise, lol.

o ok thanks, i dont like the airbag, and i speak from experience the last accident i got into with my first cb, the bag deployed and it didnt even reach me, its small and im tall do the math, lol. and i was choking on that smoke or dust that came out of it, horruble experience. so i would love to eliminate the bag.

Not on the airbag equipped models.

I believe the steering wheel hub can be accessed by removing the airbag. I would disable the SRS system and let it discharge (power, not the airbag) for a little while after you disconnect it. You don't want it hitting you in the face while you're trying to remove it!
Keep in mind, removing the airbag from an airbag-equipped car is technically illegal. If your state has inspections, then you should hold onto it, and know how to hook it back up. If you don't have inspections for that sort of thing, then don't worry about it. I'm not a huge fan of airbags myself, so I won't harp on the safety issue. I've known them to do more harm than good, actually.

And the shift knob... pull down on the upper part of the boot, where it attaches to the collar. That is clipped onto the knob. The whole collar should slide down, and you can just unscrew the knob normally. There's really no trick to it, though you'll probably end up with bruised pinkies.

Yeah for the shift knob, just grip the boot where the knob meets the boot and pull down and it will unclip from the knob; then you just unscrew the knob to the left.

You managed to word that so much better than I did!

perfect

if you still have trouble with it go and get the manual and you'll have pretty much everything you need to know about the car right there in your hand
