Default New shift **** install on A4

Installed my new 4inch hardbar shift **** from Product Innovations LLC. Ron the owner machined out the inside so the shift adapter was basically swallowed inside the ****. It is hard to tell because this is so tall but it is about 3/4 inch lower than the standard ****. Rob makes a quality product. His service and craftsmanship are exceptional.

I don't know how many posts must be made before I can upload a pic with a thread so I created a ALBUM with the name My Spiral Gray 2003 Targa, a pic is there.

Not going to lie, this looks like something you would find at Adam & Eve.

Default Install new shift **** A4

Thanks very much for doing that. Yes you simply push down and shift.
I have talked to Ron at Product Innovations about how many members want a shorter adapter. He is in the process of making his own adapters.
If you want a ball shifter most of the current adapters are too long. If you contact him on his website let him know your interest in a shorter adapter. (Product Innovations LLC)

I like it ___I run a shift ball and everybody thinks I have a stick.
And that's exactly what I don't want them to think.
