Are you using the adapter I see in various places for around $50? If not, how did you do this on an A4? If you did use the adapter, were you happy with the way it worked? By the way, love the interior on your car!

Just have to talk to MGW directly. I did it via the phone.

Thank you! I was beginning to think no one had a Delrin **** anymore

I run the Hardbar on a MGW in my Z06 and love it!

Shift **** came from: http://www.gscreationsllc.com/

Nope. You're not the only one. I switch between a Delrin hard bar and the C6 **** quite a bit. I like them both. The C6 makes the MGW easier to shift but the Delrin is more precise.
It's the same reason I have 1911s and Glocks. Don't know which one I'll feel like on any given day. Lucky for my wife I don't feel that way about her.
