So thankful for CZcams & guys like you 🙏🏼 my 2004 accord cosmetically is not in the best shape (faded/peeled paint, headliner fell so it’s up with spray adhesive just to name a few.. & now my shift knob broke again after supergluing it a few months prior).. what I love about old cars is the easy & cheap fixes. My car may be a “hoop d” but hey, it beats having a car note, high insurance & having to go to a dealership for the smallest of fixes 😂🤷♂️
I know this video is 5 years old but it came in handy last night when my gear shift decided to break so I will be replacing it today thanks to this video
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
I just got the chrome piece and the spring. That plastic bracket was $40 so I took the chance without it and worked perfectly. Cost for repair was $22. Thank you so much. It was easy thanks to your video.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
How is that plastic bracket holding up?
I've never attempted to fix anything having to do with my car in my entire life. This video gave me the confidence and information to be able to do this on my own. I spent under $10, and fixed the knob!
Elaine P. Nice job! Comments like this are why I do CZcams videos.
Elaine P. Aye I guess I'll go ahead and repair mind then after reading your comment. Where did you purchase the knob, offline
Cassandra Revels I purchased the gear shift button off amazon, & the lithium lubricant stuff from my local Auto Zone. I didn’t need to purchase any of the other items he used in the video.
I'm with you ladies and will be fixing mine tomorrow. Honda Dealership wanted $100+ to fix my gear shift. So then I saw this video(thought this guy explains it all) and just wanted to pay for the parts. They still attempted to rob me and wanted $85 ($45 just for the cover, $22 for the knob,etc.). I fixed them and got the entire package off Amazon for $39 and these are OEM parts! I will post how it turns out. I'm a little anxious. :)
@@lawandahoward291 updates? How much did you save doing same from dealerships?
Hey "Big Dog." Thanks a million. I was going to order the plastic replacement for $25 and 3 days to wait for it. I'd rather pay Honda prices and get this repaired TOMORROW!!! You da MANN, Dawg!!
My Honda's shifter button disentigrated. Your video gave me the information i needed to do the repair myself. This ild grandma is not too old to learn new things to save money!
Thank you so much for a very detailed and clear demonstration on how to fix the shift knob. I had it break apart when I was visiting my son. You helped us get back on the road quickly at a very affordable price!
When my button broke off i was stressing worried about another car bill. Great video and instructions, my shifter is now good as new
bought the repair kit for under $18, watched this video step by step and fixed it myself, took about 15 minutes to do. I was determined not to pay a shop for this, where I live it would have been at least $150. Thanks for this video.
Nice job, and thank you for the comments!
My friend, your video, especially the angles and lighting you used , finally enabled me to see where I was going wrong. Thank you so much for your illuminating how-to.
Just fixed mine today. The one I replaced came apart in pieces. This was an easy project. Great video!
Thanks for the comment!
You’re a lifesaver.. watching this at midnight after a long shift and I couldn’t get my Accord shifted after pulling into my driveway
You just saved me $250 by watching your video thank you so very much!! 😊
The best video I found on fixing this issue. Great camera work. Enough detail to successfully fix the gear shift knob. Including the Honda part numbers was a plus.
Scott McAleese Thank you!
Thank you so much! With all the stress of Covid-19 I was horrified when i got in my car yesterday and saw the gearshift button lying on the floor, along with some little black plastic bits. I called my mechanic; he said they could get the part and it would be $200 to fix it. That seemed like a lot, but even more important to me was that I wanted to avoid having others in my car right now. I found your video, was able to buy the part today from the dealer, and carefully followed your instructions. It seems to be working fine. This 63 year old female is certainly grateful to you for that excellent video!
When I read comments like this, I remember why I do CZcams videos. I am glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
@@BigDog50001 help my shifter sticks in reverse. Must force it into park....why? Any advice please?
Mine is an 05 and it just broke. Great video. My favorite part was about the coffee lol. Thats how I was this morning. I had to have my coffee before I began repairing my car. Lol
Thanks a lot bro!!
lol, thanks for the comment!
Sip of coffee makes this video whole 😀. Life saver video - thanks for posting.
👍
Hey, I JUST made this repair today to a 2005 Honda Accord LX, and this video was a true life-saver. Perfectly done. AND, I'm glad I watched this all the way through before attempting the repair, so I had all my new parts in order -- particularly, the plastic cover, which broke in *exactly* the same fashion as yours did in this video. Anyway, man, THANKS MUCH! I shudder to think how much the dealer would have charged for this same repair. Probably in the neighborhood of $200, and I'm not even joking!
Glad to hear video helped you out! Thanks for the comment!
Thank you so much for this great video. I bought the genuine Honda part from Amazon for $18 and I replaced this in about 5 minutes while watching this video. THank you so much.
Good to hear you got it fixed! Thanks!
Need to add that I am a 65 Chemo patient, with Chemo I was worried about someone in my car, since I am I'm immunity compromised. This Covid-19 could kill me. This have been a great help. Thank you again. Now to figure out where to get the parts.
Easily one of the most helpful videos on all of CZcams. Thank you Big Dawg 50001 very cool. My car is now better then lighting McQueen.
lol, thanks for the comment!
great video. I especially like the Part numbers you showed. It saved me $100 bucks in repairs.
Glad it helped!
One of the best DIY auto videos I have seen. Thank you.
Thank you, I appreciate the comment!
Actually... two thumbs up! WAY UP!!! You make that look soooo easy. Today I jumped in my '04 Accord & guess what? You guessed it! I thought I had an emergency... until I realized I could use a thumb inside to actuate it & get to work. Oh, and BTW... THANK YOU for sharing the Honda part #'s. Great video. Subscribed!
Thank you!! I was in a mall and I could only get shift to go to N or D AND I couldn’t get my key out!!
Drove home carefully, found your video!!
Wow!! Great and to the point!! (No annoying music either!!)
Got my key out!! Got it apart. Totally shattered!! I copied the part numbers easily. The tip on how I could drive it if I needed to by depressing the lever took all my worry away!!
Thank you!!!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
thank you so much! i’m really glad i didn’t have to go to a shop and pay a lot for such an easy fix!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Huge help thank you! It burst off while I was driving and I got home and couldn’t even turn the car off. Thank you for this vid it saved me big time
Thank you for this video. I was stuck in the Walmart parking lot and this video helped me
Glad it helped!
Its also helped me replace and saved me money. Thank you
This video was SOOOOO helpful!! My knob shattered, as you said in your video, and nobody had the part & I didn't want to wait to have another part shipped. I took off the knob as you describe here and I was able to get an aftermarket handle that I was able to anchor on with alan head screws & it works like a charm.
Good to hear you got it fixed, thanks for the comment!
One of the best how-to videos I've seen and very helpful! Thanks!
Thx for this great video. You just save me a head ache. Finished my job start the car boom gear knob broken. Thanks again
Thank you so much. I women like me likes to fix minor things by herself without paying the car place too much cash👌🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Just ordered the parts through your links, thanks so much for making this video! My 2005 Accord just disintegrated its shifter button ~ 154k miles.
My radio kinda sputtered out in the past year as well. I’ll have to replace that down the road too.
Without your extremely helpful video, this woman would have had to pay a whole lot more to have this fixed. Plus, I did it myself! Yay! Next up: Cabin air filter. I have your video queued up. Thank you so much!
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Thank you SO MUCH for this very clear detailed video and links to the parts! It made it so easy to order them and do the whole job myself! I am so grateful, this saved me so much money.
Great camera angles and close ups thank you
Thanks, this video really helped me swap out the shifter button
👍
Great video man! I got scared when this happened to me last week! I couldn't put it in park or reverse 😂
Thanks!
Same here. Lost Reverse gear right in the parking lot. I was SURE the transmission went. Nope.
Thank you. I should have watched your video first and saved like 45 minutes of "figuring" out. 😁😄🤣
It was a 3 minute fix after watching. 👍🏾
hell yeah dude. plug and play. I thought my transmission might be done for! Thanks.
Awesome video. I just had my shift know break into pieces. Left my car in drive only. I have been so stressed on how to fix it and how much Honda would charge me. Now I have hope to fix it myself, or at least drive it in an emergency. Thank you so much, your video has help me alot.
👍
Thankyou !! You made this Amazingly easy!
Thank you mate for the video, my car gear know just got broken, and your video helped me get it done quickly 👍
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Hi, much thanks for your detailed tutorial. Even though I am not about to replace the knob, I would like to replace the whole lever handle. Thanks again.
Thank you for sharing! Just fixed my MIL's button for only $20. It saved us quite a bit of money
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Thank you, I was able to do this, with effort.Great instructional video!
Thank you so much. I fixed the same with your detailed video.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
Great job! My wife's car had this issue. Everything happened just as you said. Easy fix. Bought the parts at the stealership. $53 Ouch. Could have found them on line cheaper. The parts counter guy tried to talk us out of the side handle piece. I said well.... the one in the video broke at the top so just in case I want it. Guess what... The piece broke too. Mine wasn't a clean break though. the inner plastic part shattered into a bunch of pieces inside the handle but I was able to dump them all out with no problem. Thanks for the great vid. Saved me a lot of $$$ not having the stealership do it!! Just glad I was smart enough to look for a video first. :)
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
VERY EXALLENT VIDEO QUALITY AND VERY VERY GOOD DEMONSTATION. THANKS
Thanks man...mine just broke today...did not know what to do...very helpful
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PERFECT VIDEO TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTANDING
Thank you so much. I just ordered the replacement parts for about $33. Can't wait to fix this part.
Janet Schexnayder Thanks, let us know how it turns out.
It worked! But when I first assembled the shifter with the NEW spring, somehow the spring bent as I tested the button. I put it all together, but then it took two hands for me to push the button in and shift. I took it all apart again and put the OLD spring back in. (It could have been one of the "50 pieces" of broken plastic in the shifter that caused the spring to deform because when I took it off to re-do it, a little black piece fell out.)
Btw, the side trim didn't break when I took the shifter apart, either time! I guess I'll try to return the side piece to the vendor.
Janet Acadienne Nice job! Glad you got it fixed!
I appreciate the lesson it really helped me thanks👍
Awesome! Thanks this worked for me!!
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!
Thank you. Helped me today.
Jinu Abraham Glad it helped!
Your video is EXCELLENT!!! Changing mine in the morning.
Thanks! Good luck!
OMG!!! This repair took me all of 5 minutes. Thank You So Much!!! I can't believe the con job the dealerships are pushing on their customers!
Okay I am a little anxious my knob fell off while I was driving. Oy Vey! but I managed to get back home. I am glad I looked on You Tube and found your video. I'm going to order my parts today. Thanks for the links I feel a little better now. I can still change gears but I will be happier when it's done. #msfixitintraining.
Thank you.... very helpful little tutorial!

Nice Work!! Thanks man. Mine just broke after I had the car valet parked. I was pissed, but im sure it was from old age. Thanks again
Thank you!
Mine came off while I was driving! It was feeling sort of "mushy" for the past few months, so I guess it broke a little at a time.
Thanks dude! Just replaced my 03 auto accord lx shifter button this video was amazing
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
2021 and my accord broke like this, the engine only has 70,000 miles on it, its a 2004 model. looks like honda has sold over 10,000 of these gear shifter knobs on ebay . must be a very common problem. thank you for the tutorial video, much appreciated.
👍

Glad it was helpful, thank you for the comment!
Excellent video!!
Unfortunately, I did not come across your video until after I made the repair on my brother’s 2004 Honda Accord. Although my repair was eventually successful, I came across some issues which could have been avoided had I seen your video beforehand:
There were some small broken plastic bits inside the cavity which were off my radar. As a result, I was unable to snap the cover back on no matter how hard I tried. After the bits were removed, another issue emerged: I could not shift into Park or First gear (all other gears were ok). ??????
Somehow the new spring got bent so I reused the original and all was well.
I did purchase the pushbutton and new spring from NAPA for about $11 (I received a small discount for being an AAA member). I could have purchased a new cover for a few dollars more, but decided to use the original cover. As illustrated in your video (@ 5:00) one “tab” on the inside of the cover piece was slightly broken, but the cover did snap securely into place.
None of the parts I purchased were OEM so expect to pay more for original parts.
Much thanks again for the excellent vid.
A+ video but be careful with the metal bit on the stick that tends to fall off under your seat when you first remove the handle. It happened to me and that thing kept sliding off my fingers until it loged itself under the seat carpet by the floor A/C duct ! For a few secs I thought i would have to remove the seat to get to it and was swearing but i could get it from the back seats. Also don't skip on the Lithium grease this switch design is crude and needs it and it only cost $4 more. I also had one tab broken when i disassembled the handle, you don't have to replace it as long as one tab is good. The tab design is so thin that i suspect it breaks every time you disassemble it and i was extra careful using plastic prying tools. Got the job done and thanks for a great video !
Thanks!
A life saver!!
Thanks 👍!
Thank you so much I did not know what to do didn’t want to pay a tow watched your video did it myself it costed me 20 bucks you are the bomb good karma your way from a single mom!
Thank you for the comment, glad to hear you got it fixed!
Thanks so much.. it helped.
Glad it helped!
Thanks for sharing
You bet!
Great instructions hiwever now that its all back together it sticks in reverse. Diesnt want to go into park... must force it. Help?
Thank You, worked like charm.
Good to hear it worked out for you!
Big Dog50001 Automotive : I used white Lithium Grease between during assembly , its very hard to press the knob during cold weather. Did I put too much grease ? Whats the alternative
I need the little white and silver piece you had in the shifter before you put the knob back down. Do you know the part number for it?
Very helpful thank you.
Glad it helped, thanks for the comment!
we ordered part fingers crossed 🤞 on getting the job done right
Thanks dude!
You bet!
Great video. Can those knobs work on a right hand drive gear shift?
Good job like
Awesome!
Can’t wait to try it. Ty c
👍
Thank You!
Thanks for the comment!
When this happened did the key get stuck in the ignition?
Nice video brother, just replaced mine however I can't make it go to park it feels like something solid is making it not shift to park, Any clue what it might be?
Thank you
👍
What is the name of the tool one would use to shimmy the handle apart?
That is great
Big help!
Chedda DiCaprio Glad it helped out.
