Compare the genuine Honda red leather shift knobs for FK8 and FL5 Civic Type R. Learn which knob fits your car, the trade-offs, and fitment exceptions.
Quick answer
For a 2017–2021 Civic Type R FK8, choose the FK8 red leather shift knob; for a 2023+ FL5, choose the FL5 version. The FK8 knob also fits the 2023+ Acura Integra A-spec Tech, while the FL5 knob fits 2022+ Civic models.
Why the two knobs are not interchangeable
The FK8 and FL5 knobs share the same red leather look, but they are different factory parts with different part numbers. The FK8 knob is 08U92-TEA-110 and the FL5 knob is 08U92-T60-110. Each is designed for the shift lever of its generation, so matching the knob to your chassis avoids a loose fit or thread mismatch.
The trade-off: originality vs. extra compatibility
The FK8 knob keeps your 2017–2021 Type R factory-correct and adds a genuine Honda accessory look. Its trade-off is that it also fits the Integra A-spec Tech, so it is not exclusive to the Civic. The FL5 knob is the correct choice for 2023+ Type R and also fits 2022+ Civic, but it does not list Integra compatibility. Neither knob is a universal aftermarket part, so you gain factory fitment but lose the ability to swap between unrelated platforms.
What the catalog does not tell you
The supplied specifications do not include weight, diameter, or thread pitch for either knob. If you are comparing shift feel or want a weighted knob, those details are not available here. Both are listed as factory-style knobs for 6MT-equipped cars only, so they are not intended for CVT models.
