Shift **** adaptor help.
OK. So I finally found a **** I liked, bought it, brought it home.
It says "AT shift ****" (Automatic Transmission) . I got three plastic sleeves (three different sizes), to go over the shifter, which I'm supposed to then then slide the **** over. Only problem is, I can't secure the **** on the plastic sleeve. Problem: The **** pops right off. The plastic sleeve isn't attched to anything.
I've seen the $50 adaptors. Here are some Q's:
1. Do these work with any ****?
2. Are they available @ Pep Boys, Etc?
3. Anything similar I can use?
TIA,
Dave Q.

Dave,
I just bought one about 3 minutes ago, that's why I had the link handy. I'm hoping to get a custom billet T-Handle from Stuart (like Stuzvette & Grumpy) for my A4 - should be way

Does anyone happen to know the thread size of the auto shift post?
I have this adaptor, and like it, except it makes the shift **** up too high. Thinking of adding about an inch and a half of thread, then cutting it down, to get the **** back to where it should be.

I have the A4 adaptor and a manual type **** at home. I am just waiting on my redline shifter boots to come in to install all the parts at once.
Hope this helps.
