Default A4 shift *****

Didn't know if anyone knew or cared but you can get a carbon fiber and woodgrain version of our shift ***** on ebay now. Do a search for "corvette automatic shift *****". Should show up. A nonsponsored vendor also sells them, but I'm not telling the general public who.

Nice, that does look a hell of alot better.

If you have a Dremel, it can be shortened. Just cut the parts evenly, and make your notches for the C-Clip that holds the Shifter.

That's what I would use to do it..

easy free mod. Nothing better! A dremel and shifter from a 94 z28. Not a fan of the carbon fiber and wood shifters.
