ummm . . . the shift boot/shift knob attachment clippy thing.

I really don't know the real official name for it.

i see, whats that square part called?

Probably a boot attachment clip. The boot attaches to it with a simple ziptie. Almost any accessory boot can be attached to it. The boot you posted a link to should fit if you remove the round clip that it comes with, but probably not without making your shifter physically shorter. The opening at the top is considerably smaller than the stock boot, so you would have to attach it lower in the boot. This would reduce the height to which it will stretch, so it may not fit your stock shifter unless you either shorten it or perform a bucket drop.

it wasn't that shift boot...i have one similar to that but with red stiching and it is pretty good quality...i haven't tried to fit it but i'm pretty sure it would fit.

so just to clarify, if i wanna change the shift boot, my options are
cb's, cd's, prelude, and integra shift boots?

i'm not sure about the oem's, but if you have a sewing machine, it is much cheaper to make your own. take your shift boot off, cut all the stitching so that there is just 4 triangular pieces of vinyl. trace these onto a new piece of vinyl, leather, or suede (dont use cloth, it gets worn out too easily) and cut them out. sew them together like it is inside out so the edges arent seen, then you can backstitch for looks if you want. turn it right side out, sew the metal bottom ring to it, then mount it up. now you have a shift boot that you made how you want; the material, the the color of the material, the color of the stitching, even the size if you decided to modify it.

hope this helps!

I have a momo shift knob and boot and they fit perfectly and look great. it has been a couple of years sence I bought them but I belive it was between 35 to 50 dollars give or take . my knob and boot are one peice .

I know a lot of people (including me) who run the ITR/CTR boots. Just look around, you can find them from 25-30$. You can just stretch it over the stock clip, it's a tight fit but you get an oem look/feel with it if that's important to you. The boot really looks pro if you combine it with the CTR shift collar, the little piece that holds the boot up. Then top it off with whatever shift knob you want.
