Honda Accord 2003-2005 replacement black gear shift button assembly SK206
This SK206 gear shift button provides a precise replacement for the original component found in Honda Accord vehicles produced between 2003 and 2005. Over time, the factory shift button can become worn, cracked, or loose, affecting the tactile feel and function of the gear selector. This assembly offers a direct-fit, cost-effective solution to restore the gear shift to its intended operation, refreshing the interior’s functional appearance without requiring the replacement of the entire gear lever. It is supplied as a complete kit, containing all the necessary components for a straightforward installation process.
Features and Construction
This product is engineered for exact compatibility and durability, using standard automotive materials and a confirmed model number to ensure the correct fit.
Material and Build
The main body of the shift button is constructed from black ABS plastic. Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) is a widely used thermoplastic in the automotive industry, particularly for interior trim pieces and controls. It is chosen for its good impact resistance and structural strength, which helps the button withstand the repeated pressing motions of daily driving. The black colouration matches the standard interior trim of the applicable Honda Accord models, maintaining a factory-style appearance.
Size and Practical Fit
The product has specific package dimensions of 15.00 centimetres in length, 9.00 centimetres in width, and 2.00 centimetres in height. This size makes the part easy to handle during the installation process and convenient to store prior to fitting. Its primary design purpose is to be a direct replacement for the original gear shift button on the 2003 to 2005 Honda Accord, ensuring it interfaces correctly with the existing gear lever mechanism. The model number SK206 is clearly specified, allowing for accurate part identification and verification before purchase.
Uses and Placement
This component serves a specific, functional role within the vehicle's cabin, addressing both wear-related issues and aesthetic refreshment.
Event or Professional Use
For automotive workshops, repair centres, or vehicle refurbishment specialists, this part is a standard inventory item for servicing Honda Accords from this generation. It facilitates quick repairs for customers complaining of a faulty or aesthetically degraded gear shift button. The availability of a complete assembly, including the return spring and side plate, streamlines the repair process, allowing technicians to replace the entire worn mechanism in one go, ensuring reliable function is restored.
Everyday Home Use
For the vehicle owner, this part enables a do-it-yourself interior repair or refresh project. Replacing a broken, sticky, or faded gear shift button can significantly improve the driving experience and the look of the centre console. The inclusion of the return spring means the new button will have the correct ‘snap-back’ action expected from the gear selector. This project is typically within the capability of a home mechanic with basic tools, offering a sense of accomplishment and a tangible upgrade to the vehicle's interior.
Benefits and Buying Value
Choosing this specific part provides clear, practical advantages focused on restoration, compatibility, and completeness.
Reuse and Low Maintenance
By replacing only the worn button assembly rather than the entire gear lever, this part supports a more economical and sustainable approach to vehicle maintenance. It extends the usable life of the existing gear stick assembly. Once installed, the new ABS plastic component requires no special maintenance beyond general interior cleaning, aligning with the low upkeep expected of standard automotive interior plastics.
Why Choose This Product
The value of this product lies in its confirmed model-specific application and its completeness as a kit. There is no need to source the button, spring, and side plate separately, which saves time and ensures all components are compatible. The use of black ABS plastic provides a colour match and material performance consistent with the original part. For owners of 2003-2005 Honda Accords, it represents a straightforward solution to a common point of interior wear, helping to maintain the vehicle's functionality and appearance.
