Hi guys, over the weekend I figured I'd change up the look in my A4 so I decided to change out the shift ****. I wanted to go with a T-Handle and found this Aluminum B&M one for under 30 bucks from Summit (part number 80941) I also purchased the C5 A4 shift adapter to install the T Handle. Install was very very easy, less than 10 minutes. Snapped a couple pics.
Looks great, put the same one on my 01 6-spd stock.. Drilled & re tapped. Apmx 45 min..
I like the look and feel...
I didn't have to drill or tap anything, the handle threaded right onto the shift adapter. Although I didn't use them, the handle did come packaged with many different adapters for use with other vehciles. I think it looks much better and feels a lot better than the stock shift as well. Now I have plenty options if I ever want to change shift *****.
If this threaded right on, what was the shift adaptors you bought and what was it part number?
What you will actually need is the C5 Automatic Shift Adapter Kit. This kit allows you to install any aftermarket shift **** with the 9/16-18 thread pattern. To shift gears all you have to do is push down on the **** itself.
This is the one I bought

I just think the "T" handle is the best ever! But my wife want's nothing to do with it. What can I say? It's her car. In fact I switched to an "Eight Ball" type shift **** and after a couple months she made it very clear that she wanted the stock **** put back on.

Too bad Hurst doesn't make the dual gate auto shifter to fit the C5. I had one on my old '79 Z28 with a Hurst T-Handle. Auto mode on the left side, swing across to the right side for manual mode.

We used to call that a "His and Hers" shifter in the Pontiac GTO's.
