Well as many of you know unless you buy a special adapter there are not many options for the A4 shift *****. Well today I went out browsing the pick-a-parts for a stock t-handle shifter since mine is missing the actual button cap. I found a lot of early 4th gens, but sadly the shift ***** were either gone or destroyed. So I decided to browse around some more. I started to notice that a lot of the other GM cars had shifters that use the same style clip system as the A4 4th gens. Needless to say when all was said and done I picked up 3 shift ***** for a total of 7 dollars. All work fine and each looks very different from stock. I figure I may just swap'em around as I get bored with each one. Here is a pic showing how each one looks. There were some other *****, but nothing I thoughy might look good. I was wondering if anyone else has done a swap like this? I ideas of some other shift ***** that may look good from other GM vehicles that use the little clip to hold them in?

I picked up the adapter and put a pool ball shift **** on that matches the car.

I have a shortened stick and adapter.. Not sure what ball I'm going to run, will also have a boot from a Grand Am.

Doesn't the Trail Blazer handle also work?

I shortened mine up, and used the adapter. I feel like nothing looks quite as good.

All GM shift handles will work ad long as they are the kind that use the little clip in the middle.

Corvette ***** work as well, I've got one off a C5 and also got a boot from a Grand Am. It was worth it to get rid of those cheesy little plastic sliders.

So the TBSS handle uses the clip as well to hold it on?

I've got to figure something out for my new bird. I guess Ill look for these adapters...

but I really don't like how high it is, its unnatural for me, so i need to cut it as well.

As a note, before logging in, ***** was censored to *****... made me chuckle.

my SS handle had a torx screw holding it in place no clip. I didnt use the leather boot on mine just needed the handle

When I did mine I cut the clip part off and shortened the white part to fit. If you don't it sits too tall in my opinion. You don't have to. I just liked mine lower.

Anyone else swapped any good looking shift ***** into the A4?

VIP1

No. It uses a torx screw for a friction fit.

Also, there is a tab on the inside of the handle's shaft that gets in the way of lowering it into position. I trimmed it out with a chisel. It'll make sense if you try to install it unmodified (since the handle will "bottom-out" too high to work).

just fwiw, i bought the adapter, and put a B&M black T-handle in, and its nice. total cost bout 40 bucks. il grab a pic later and put up...
also, i have the scangauge too, and mounted above rearview mirror, got tired of it floating in that spot.
