Todays New MOD.......

Well about a year ago I bought the adaptor to mount a new shift ball in the car, About 6 months I got the ball, I finally got around to installing it today, It is going to take some getting use to.
What ya all think? Let me have it with both barrels...lol
I do like it myself.

IMO

It is about 1/2 taller than stock. If I feel the need I can thread the adaptor and the ball deeper and get it down some more.

Looks like a Tootsie Pop. Let's ask Mr. Owl ...

Next, get a red boot and a shorter stalk.

I like it!

How does it feel when you have to put it in gear (push on it)? Is it harder to engage than the stock A4 shifter?

Thanks,Matt
