What brand of shifter knob should i get....if i want one that is shaped like a ball, not the raptor or t-shaped ones.

Type-R off ebay. $20 shipped, screws right on.

OEM Integra GSR.
I don't like cold ball shaped shifters.
GSR is leather and countours the hand nicely.

Get whatever knob you find comfortable and looks good in your car.

I too am looking to buy a new shift knob...
I am thinking of this one:

But my change lever seems to have been stripped by the monkey who owned the car before me. Do you think the new knob would be able to screw on there? Or should I do something about it first?

This is a picture of my change lever:

A new shifter is probably the best answer for you. Good excuse for an upgrade to a short-shifter.

one of my favorites was somebody used the handle from a Snap-On scredriver for their shift knob.

can't find the pic right now though...

I personally use the knob out of the EP Civic Si. (Red-stitched leather.)

The funny thing is that is a short shifter...

EP = 2002-2005 Civic Si. It's a 5-speed knob.

Thats what Iv'e got. Its hot in the summer, and cold in the winter, otherwise, iits a great knob.

PM me if you need a stock shift rod.

 

[FooFighter]

Yea that might work. Is it hard to change out shift rods?

 

[rex2nr]

nah, not too bad. The worst part was pulling the bolts which hold the "ball" section of the shifter into the linkage... nothing a set of vice grips can't fix.

 

[FooFighter]

Would a shift rod from a 89 crx work in my 90?

All 88-91 are interchangeable. In fact, they're all the same from 88-2000 Civics.

I'll put in a vote for my shift knob...skunk2 weighted. I wouldn't mind having a leather one, but I really like the weight of the skunk2 so I wouldn't want to switch back to a lightweight one. It's really amazingly heavy when you hold it in your hand, and the weight makes the shifter just fall nicely into gear. Not the cheapest out there, but the way I figure it I spend a TON of time touching the shift knob and the steering wheel, and they are the inputs for very important controls of the car...so I don't mind spending a little more than my standard generic eBay budget to get something decent.
