Default Automatic Shift ****?

Ok, I have a C6 A4. I'm sure the auto shift **** is the same as the C5. Is the C4 **** the same as the C5/6? I found a carbon fiber one and it's for a C4 but from what I can see it looks the same as mine.

I have an auto and need a new shift **** too but the guys on here tell me the standard **** will NOT fit the auto. Be advised and if you find someone who makes them for automatics, let me know. Good luck.

Right. It won't but I'm not looking for a standard ****. I found a C4 automatic **** that looks like mine and I wanted to know if a C4 **** is the same as a C5 ****. After doing some searching on here I did find my answer. It's not the same. There is a C clip inside the C4 and that was replaced with a staple type thing on the C5/C6 ****. It just sux that there are so few choices for the A4 shift **** for a C5/C6.

I installed a standard **** on my A4, All you need to do is get the A4 **** adaptor and you can use any **** you want.

I know about those Mr. Bill. But IMO it makes the shift **** stick up a little too high. I like the short look of the factory 06-11 shift *****.

I have the same A4 adapter as Mr. Bill and got mine from Mid America.
Had the shifter **** custom made.
