Before Beginning Your Installation

Turn off the ignition. Ensure that the vehicle is in park, with the parking brake engaged. Place the vehicle into neutral. It is not necessary to remove the battery cables for this installation.
NOTE: Disconnection of the negative battery cable erases pre-programmed electronic memory. We recommend saving any memory settings before disconnecting the negative terminal. Some radios will require an anti-theft code to be entered after the negative battery cable is reconnected. Preparing Your Adjustable Shift Knob & Collar
Reference the parts list and ensure all components are enclosed. If something is missing, please contact PRL Customer Support.
Place the PRL Adjustable Shift Knob & Collar on a soft surface as to not scratch the surface of the shift knob itself. You will have to remove interior trim pieces to access the shift knob assembly. Please take care to not handle the trim pieces too roughly. The installation process doesn’t vary for the Delrin versus aluminum material. Your trim/center console removal process will vary depending on the model of vehicle. Adjustment will be identical.
There are three components to the shift knob assembly. There is the knob itself (finish of your choice), adjustable collar, and the set screw that locks the collar.
To begin the installation, you will push down on the shift boot to separate the plastic trim collar from the base of the factory shift knob.
Take your 14mm wrench, turn the nut at the base of the shifter right, while rotating the shift knob left to loosen them.
Once the factory shift knob is removed, unthread the nut from the shifter itself. This will not be re-used with the PRL Shift Knob.
To remove the trim, lightly grip the edges or use a trim removal tool. Slowly wiggle the trim surround till it loosens. Each side should simply pop loose with light force.
All three sides should pop free of there mounting points, but do not pull the trim fully upwards/to the side yet. (2022 Civic/2023+ Integra trim pictured)
Remove any sensors that are clipped into the center console/trim piece. This will vary depending upon your vehicle. The 11th Gen Civic has (2) sensors. Simply press and unclip the harness from their mounted locations.
Cut the zip tie holding the factory plastic collar inside of the shift boot. This plastic collar will not be re-used with the PRL Shift Knob.
Place the PRL Adjustable Collar onto the factory shifter assembly. Place it with the threaded end and o-ring facing upwards.
Test the knob by threading it onto the collar. This allows you to ensure that the logo will be facing towards you properly. Rotate the collar to ensure that is straight.
Once aligned, hold the collar tightly as you remove the knob. Place the set screw down the collar and tighten it into place.
Remove the shift knob, thread the shifter through the hole in the mouth of the shift boot. Align it at the base of the PRL Adjustable Collar.
Flip the boot inside out, line up the shift boot and affix the provided low profile zip tie tightly around the shift boot. Snip off the excess.
Once the boot is situated, flip it back to normal, and re-install the knob. Verify that the knob is still facing the correct orientation. Adjust it as needed.
If everything is correct and tightened securely, then carefully reinstall your trim / center console. Now it’s time to drive!

Road Testing Your PRL Shift Knob & Collar
