Default A4 gearshift **** adapter

Has anyone put one of those adapters on their automatic shift stalk so you can use any of the screw type *****? I'm thinking about it but think it might make the **** too tall.
thanks,
jeff

I've tried the adapter...and I think it makes the **** too tall. I may actually have one at the house if you want it.

the adapter adds about an inch or so to the shift ****. I'll give my adapter to you if you are interested in seeing for yourself...PM me with address info and I'll ship it.

If using shift **** like EG has...the adapter would work great. I've tried using a few ***** and it always seemed too high for me.

I've been using one for years and they work great. The trick is to choose one of the shorter-designed shifter *****.

I'm using a Momo F16.

It's been so long since I bought it that I don't exactly remember, but I think I got it through our sponsor, L.A.P.D.
