^ Nice!!! I would rather use a factory part to do things like this. For some reason it's just cooler. How much was the TB shift ****?

Ebay for the TB **** $65. The height is just right to rest your hand on while driving.

In my opinion, this looks better than the MBA ****. Very nicely done. Nice push button start as well.

I have the adapter, with a Hurst T-handle. Also cut the stick down some too.

This is the T-Handle on before I cut the stick down some.

^ Cut the shaft down a couple of inches and you got money man. I like that one the most, if the shaft was shorter...

I got the mba ball on my a4. i love it! so much better just pushing down than pushing on the button all the time. and pull up in park and it will lock and people cant figure out how to drive it.. in my case my mom lol.

I DID cut the sick down. I think I said that! :p I just don't have a newer pic. That Hurst T-handle feels so good in the hand too. It just feels so natural. Only thing I don't like is how it's rotated forward so I never really see the Hurst logo. I want to see if I can bend that MBA Adapter to the rear some...then it would be PERFECT!

Hundreds of choices out there, search Ebay for Firebird shift* ****, ...
If you use the adaptor as noted, do the boot mod also to hide it.

I did a console swap in mine.. the a4 shifter and M6 boot done line up, you cannot put the shifter in 1st and if the boot is tucked in, 2nd is a tight fit... It looked just like a 6spd tho...

yea i knew that it wouldnt go into first with the conversion, but as long as i can get it into 3rd im fine with that. hopefully ill have it done in a week, if i can find a console locally. it will definitely look better than the stock a4 **** just kinda sitting there
