Was looking at car stuff today (imagine that right) and saw a photo of a 2019 Fit LX 6MT. You can see there is some kind of collar at the top of the boot in between the boot and shift knob?

I recently bought a 2018 Fit Sport 6MT and immediately thought something was missing since the boot just flops around and does not snap onto the shift knob.

Here’s a screen cap

 

 

You have an aftermarket boot and shift knob.

 

My boot and shift knob are just like DetroitGK5’s. Are you saying that is aftermarket? I bought my 18 Sport used but was kind of surprised at the unretained shift boot.

Photo in the first thread is from a 19 LX MT.

 

That image is a stock car. Factory knob and boot.

 

guys and gals, the OP has the correct factory boot, despite it appearing as if it is an after market. Apparently Honda decided to use 2 different boots, one for their EX/LX line and the other for the sport. The EX/LX share the same boot as shown in the OP's image... 83414-T5R-A01ZL and the Sport uses its own part 83410-T5R-A91ZE. Why? I have no idea, it must be a Honda thing, but I do know one thing for sure, it looks horrible. Will the EX/LX fit the Sport? I have no idea, but I'd want to hope so. Good luck OP.

 

I like the look of the red stitching on the Sport boot and knob but agree with Rooster’s assessment that it looks horrible without a proper collar

 

i believe, ACUITY makes a collar to make it all work for ya

 

I have an aftermarket knob with the factory LX boot, which has the silver plastic clip/ring...I bought some foam pipe insulation, cut it to the length needed, and jammed it in the plastic piece. It does pretty well holding it flush to the knob, you actually have to tug it down to move it, ''tis pretty smug...low tech, but works well enough for my use
