Default Aftermarket shift ***** for A4's

Been thinking about getting an aftermarket shift **** for my car. Problem is that with an A4, the options are limited. Anybody with an A4 got an aftermarket shift ****. Got any pics or suggestions? This is what my interior currently looks like. Thanks.

Not true you can get an adaptor that will allow you to use a 6 spd shifter ****.

Here is the adaptor just click ont picture to get to the website.



Plus I have a shifter from Vette Essentials.

I went with a Flameball, you need the adapter as mentioned but it was worth it, www.flameball.com has the types available.

John,
What's up man. Sorry I missed poker night, really wanted to go but just couldn't make it.

Zilla,
So with this adapter, I'm assuming you have to push down on the **** before you can shift?

Any more?

Shift ***** from www.zip-corvette.com

I have the chrome one in the upper right corner and really enjoy it.

*********************


About those adapter kits for the manual shift *****, I have seen people get stranded with those. The cars would not come out of park and the center had to be taken apart and worked on. Plus I think they just stand way to high

Like what I've seen so far. Did some more digging and found some other at ssinserts.com Antvette, don't know if you've seen these but they look pretty cool.

With that beautiful interior I would have thought youd go for the Vette Essentials two-tone shift **** to match...
