Spoon Sports Shift Knob for Honda/Acura

Spoon Sports Shift Knob - Aluminum or Duracon, 5-Speed, 6-Speed & Type R

Spoon has been the name in Honda tuning since the 80s, and part of why is that they build the small things properly. This shift knob is one of those. It's the shape people recognize, it wears the Spoon badge, and it comes in enough configurations that you can match it to your transmission and your interior rather than settling for whatever a generic knob gives you. Two materials, three versions, and a shift pattern that actually matches your gearbox.

Match It To Your Interior

This is the part most knobs get wrong. A shift knob sits in the middle of your interior and you look at it constantly, so it should suit what's around it rather than fighting it.

Aluminum is the one for a build where the interior already has metal in it, pedals, a bar, exposed hardware. It's got weight and it feels precise in your hand, and it looks the part in a stripped or track-focused cabin.

Duracon is the POM composite version and it's what Spoon built for daily use. It suits an OEM-plus interior where you want the Spoon detail without the cabin looking like a race car, and it plays well alongside factory trim and leather.

There's a practical difference too, and it's worth weighing honestly. Aluminum sinks heat, which means it's hot in a car that's been parked in the sun and genuinely cold in winter. Duracon stays much closer to cabin temperature. If your car lives outside, that matters more than you'd think.

Get The Right Shift Pattern

Nice touch that a lot of knobs skip: the pattern badge matches your actual transmission. A 5-speed knob has a 5-speed pattern, a 6-speed knob has a 6-speed pattern. It's a detail nobody notices until it's wrong, and then it's all you see.

So pick based on your gearbox, not your car's name. A 5-speed EG or EK takes the 5-speed. An S2000, DC5, FD2, FN2, or 6-speed FK7 takes the 6-speed.

The FK8 And FL5 Version

Worth knowing why there's a separate Type R version. Every one of these knobs uses the same M10 x 1.5 thread, which is standard across the Honda and Acura lineup, so this isn't a thread issue.

The difference is the factory shift boot retainer on the FK8 and FL5. Spoon shaped the Type R version to sit properly with it, so the knob threads down and the boot stays where it should instead of looking pushed up or bunched. Grab that version if you've got a Type R and the install is clean rather than something you're fighting.

Worth being clear on the flip side: a Civic Si, whether FK7 or FL1, is not a Type R and takes the standard 6-speed knob.

Pick Your Version

Fitment

All versions use an M10 x 1.5 thread, the standard across the Honda and Acura lineup, so they fit essentially any manual Honda or Acura lever. That includes the S2000 AP1 and AP2, Integra DC5, Civic EP3, FD2, FN2, and FK7 6MT, Accord CL7 Euro R, Fit GK5 6MT, S660, and N-ONE, among plenty of others.

Choose your version by transmission, and go with the Type R version if you're in an FK8 or FL5 so it works with the factory boot retainer. Automatics and CVTs are not applicable.

Installing It

Straightforward, with two bits of sense. Thread it on and snug the set screw without over-torquing, since crushing an aluminum knob onto a steel lever helps nobody. And use thread locker if your setup calls for it, so it doesn't work loose over time.

Who Should Run This Knob

This is for the Honda owner who wants a piece with real pedigree in a spot they touch every single drive. Spoon has earned its name over four decades of building and racing these cars, and this is one of the more affordable ways to put that in your interior. Pick your material for how your cabin looks and where your car lives, pick your version for your transmission, and enjoy it every time you grab a gear.
