Help with shift **** (posted in C5Tech also)
I just got this **** and wonder if anyone else has this?
It installed easily, but it rotates quite a bit. Looks like the splines inside the **** are too narrow for the grooves. Just wondering if this is a quality control issue and I should return it for another, or if this is how they fit? I can probably shim it but don't want to if I can help it. If you rotate it enough times back and forth eventually the lock pin starts to come out. Thanks!

Your upgraded shift *** looks cool! I hope you get the problem fixed.
How do you get the stock A4 shift *** off? I am preparing to do the HUD upgrade and need to take the stock shifter off during the install but the instructions are for an M6.
