Default A4 shifter advice

As a winter project, I'm considering changing my stock 1996 A4 shifter to an after market version. If you have done this and really like the results, please let me know what brand/how hard the install was.

Though I didn't go aftermarket I did mod my stock A4 shift gate to get shift feel on upshifts and lockout on downshifts, details on my site.

If you're meaning shift kit, I have had the Transgo for 4 years and love it.

As far as I know there's no aftermarket shifter specifically for the C4. Some guys have installed the Camaro version though. Like 65ZO1, I also modified my stocker to be more to my liking.

Thanks 65Z01 and Kid.
That looks like a good mod for what I'm trying to do. Does anyone sell a modified gate or do I have to hack and whack mine ?
