I just got my Fit and was just looking for something to spruce up my interior. I couldn't find a guide to changing the shift knob anywhere, but it seems like a lot of you have aftermarket ones. How do I do it? Is there a release mechanism, does it just screw off, or what? Thanks!

 

if it is MT you just unscrew it... it takes bit of force... but you cant rally break it.. AT idk lol

 

also i see your from avon... nice to see another local (for me) i want to do a fit meet for us CT ppl... how is this weekend for you?.. enjoy the Fit!

 

as said above...it takes a bit of force...not worry bout it though.
you might even hear a little crack or a snapping, it is just the plastic unbinding from the metal dont worry.

I know I have a bad injury, but It took me 5min to get it off, had to use both hands and lean over it. (I soooo shouldnt be driving)

 

yeah it took more force then you would think lol

 

Oh, cool! I have to MT. Nice to hear it's simple to remove. Firebat, where in Simsbury are you? I work at the movie theater in Simsbury so you'll probably see my orange Fit parked in the lot there a lot of the time, at least during college breaks. I'd definitely be up for a CT meet. And hey, my name is Jason too!

Do you ever take your car up to the Barkhamstead reservoir, on that twisty road by Ski Sundown? Really nice road to drive on. Know of any other good driving roads to toss the Fit around on?

 

heh...hopefully you took off your shift knob without ripping the leater a tad bit like i did.(dont know how i did it)

 

haha nice im over by latimer elementery school.... i havent been up to the resevoir yet... only had the fit here a few weeks... there are a few good roads out towards granby and also all those twistys by avon old farms school are fun...one dude had to bail on the meet but i got one guy for sure sat netime after 6ish or any time on sunday... whats good for you?

 

I'm the local that had to bail on the meet, but hey, can I get into National Treasure for free tomorrow night?

 

lol i saw tht today it was friggin awesome lol

 

Heh, sorry but I wasn't working tonight. I can get people into all the night time shows but generally not the 7pm shows unless the manager is feeling generous. Look for my car if you're there though, I usually park right in front of the theater.

I saw that a guy on Craigslist wanted to start a Fit club, you guys interested?

Let's start a Honda Fit club!

 

Damn CT Fits are spreading like wildfires hah.

Oh and Saturday's probably ruled out, forgot about the UFC fight.

 

Sunday's better for me, assuming I don't get put on the work schedule that day. Any of you guys know of a nice scenic twisty road to drive on? I'm on college winter break with a new car and nothing to do!

 

I don't really know much of anything around here, I've only been living here since august, moved here from kc,

 

im down for sunday afternoon for a meet? any one else?

 

I'll give a tentative "yes."

Oh and $30 for my Skunk 2 short shifter to anyone local.

 

Sunday sounds good.. I need to see my work schedule first though.

 

lol ok well shoot for sunday at some point...

 

I may be back sunday in time to do something, we'll just have to see how things go this weekend

 

coupe de tat has work... how about this... we all pick a weekend coming up... and we do a meet then? the only weekend i cant in the next few weeks is jan. 20th.... any one else have any qualms coming up?
