Default A6 Shifter *****... Where to Find?

Current shifter showing signs of wear and was considering a new one.
Are there any aftrmkt options out there for the A6?

I believe a new OEM one is quite $$$

I'm also interested in an A-6 auto shift ****, but the only ones I saw on DS Vette's site are manual *****.

Maybe I missed something?

Yea, they don't list everything they sell on the site. Best to call them and talk to them about it. I have one in my car and it's amazing. I would take a picture of it but I'm work. They also make console covers, e-brake boots, shift boots...etc

Gosh, I never touch the shift boot, and love touching the shift ****....so, does never work?
I've seen some of the instructions to change out the boot. The **** took 30 seconds, once I figured out the retaining ring....the boot? Not so much....

You won't be disappointed either. I have the two tone seats, and got the matching center console, ebrake boot and handle, shift ****, and shift boot. Looks and feels amazing. Bought mine about two years ago and still looks like the day I bought it.

Apparently, there are exclusive rights to certain vendors on this forum...the post your responding to was not my post. I posted another vendor, but it was removed by the moderator apparently.
