FL5 Shift Knob Showdown 2023

[@cbschrader]

Thanks for the helpful tip regarding the plastic piece over the nut. Just changed my shift knob and I was wondering what I was doing wrong compared to the other videos out there. Yours is the only one I found that mentions this piece.

[@phothrottle]

Chris I'm glad my vlog helped! Thanks for watching.

[@MohawkCanaan-gt8ot]

The red one definitely❤

[@phothrottle]

Yeah red one I nice!

[@emmanuelvaldez9242]

Black and red I think fits perfect with your interior.

[@jeancarlo8158]

Bro i bought the oem red and black and just spent the last 3 hours looking for a video showing how to do it properly and even saw a guy in another video put electrical tape in place replacing the oem zip-tie location under the boot🤣🤣 thanks for making the best video on this so far

[@phothrottle]

Yeah I noticed a lot of FL5 owners giving out wrong instructions. It is very simple once you figure it out. Glad you liked the video!

[@jeancarlo8158]

@phothrottle you should do a video on the illuminated door sill plates, theres only one video and the clips go too fast as well as the voice over, mine came in today but it would be nice to see an install video on that one accessory🙏🏼

[@treys9123]

Perfect removal video! Thanks!

[@mm8436]

OG for the win

[@epet2244]

OG egg shape 👍

[@eddiegarcia1057]

how much does the red leather oem knob weight?

[@phothrottle]

I don't remember

[@white-dragon4424]

The red and black one for both looks, feel and colour coordination with the interior.

[@phothrottle]

That is what I chose and currently using.

[@white-dragon4424]

@@phothrottle How's it working out? I saw it on the Net and was thinking about getting the same one myself.

[@phothrottle]

@@white-dragon4424 I like it. Has a nice feel in the hands.

[@phothrottle]

I like it, has a nice feel in the hands.

[@white-dragon4424]

@@phothrottle Is there any wear in the leather bit of the knob? I had a coloured gear knob once and the colour soon started to fade.

[@cal.r35]

I like black and red

[@phothrottle]

Looks so much better in person. I didn't like it at first but now that I have seen it, it has grown on me.

[@cal.r35]

@@phothrottle good choice. The other one r nice and classy but they r too common

[@chachingx4120]

Allum spoon gets my vote 🤙🏻

[@Jordan68525]

Do you have a video putting it back together?

[@phothrottle]

Sorry I don't but it's pretty straightforward.

[@basavarajkuner2562]

Can OEM Red and Black Knob can be fitted to Honda City?

[@phothrottle]

The Type R thread pitch is m10x 1.5 if the honda city is the same it will fit.

[@HuyFishin]

Red and black or the OG. I used to have a type R shift knob. Looked like the OG

[@phothrottle]

Seem like everyone likes the OG. Might have to put it back on.

#stock 😜

[@robertmatas4192]

Weight of these?

[@phothrottle]

Not sure but this is what I have found online OEM aluminum weight: 230g Spoon sports 61 grams No information on the OEM Red

[@robertmatas4192]

@@phothrottle thanks for the research!

[@JeffChen-p2m]

Do you have the weight of the black and red one?

[@phothrottle]

6.4 ounces

[@jangjang2820]

Does this fit to FK8?

[@phothrottle]

Yes both the FK8 and FL5 have the same thread pitch M10×1.5

[@antiflg530]

Neither of those spoon knobs are the new shapes, if shape still dope tho 🎉

[@aa_reww]

Does this also apply to 22 Si? I’m having trouble

[@phothrottle]

Yes should be the same if it is a 2022

[@flattliner]

Lovely, except the crucial bit - removing the plastic collar - was totally out of focus! That's the only bit I need...

[@phothrottle]

Sorry bud I will keep that in mind for next time.

[@flattliner]

@@phothrottle I finally managed it, but that plastic collar arrangement is fiddly beyond belief! Almost as if Honda don't want to make it easy...

[@phothrottle]

@flattliner sorry to hear. The method I used with an allen key allowed the collar to release quite easily without damage. I will have to make an updated vlog that is clear.

[@flattliner]

@@phothrottle I used the Allen key method, but what isn't clear is exactly what you're meant to do with it, since the structure of the collar isn't detailed - and isn't obvious if you leave the boot on (with zip tie off). Down (flush with gear stick) and out, laterally, as you will be aware... Anyway, very pleased with the red Honda knob, a lot warmer than the aluminium one.

[@XOX-fs4ww]

Neither knobs, use your mouth 😮
