Default A4 console conversion to M6 console?

Is it possible to swap the A4 console in an A4 car to an M6 console? Why? Because I like the look of the M6 console better. It'll look nice and clean with a boot! Will the shifter be centered and have a full range of motion? Will it line up?

I dont think this is what you are looking for but there is a kit for the A4 that allows you to use any M6 ball or **** and you could also install a leather boot on it. Its a simliar idea. But I would also like to know if you could do the A4-M6 trade...???

Yeah, I know about the kit and I would do that, but I want to swap the console too.

Its an easy swap but I don't know how well the stock shifter will fit. I have a Hurst Quarter Stick ratchet shifter coupled with a TH400 and I'm going to have to have a custom shift boot made. The shifter cuts the console close. Hadn't finished but I might have to modify a little to get into 3rd and up to park. I'll update you when I get closer to finish. You might want to check with MacGyver if you can find him.

Can someone with a manual measure the inside of the shifter area, (where the boot connects to)? I need the dimensions so I can see if it'll fit.

Nick,

I'm not anywhere close to my car. Send me an reminder via e-mail and I'll call down to the shop and have them measure my car.

Thanks
