Any **** that will fit the M6 stick will fit. I bought my T-handle at an advanced parts store...so it's prett generic. I'll get a pic this weekend showing the shorter stick.

this may be a very stupid question... so ill say it anyway. Is there a way to fit the shifter from a 06 and up automatic corvette to the a4? I like the way they look. I know its on an a6 but I was just curious.. don't beat me down with words too badly

Here's pics of my Hurst shifter on the shortened stick. I painted the adapter black and added a piece of PVC below it to "Fill" the difference in sizes. They're held together with black tape and there's a piece of the black tape at the bottom of the plastic to keep it from scratching up. Blue thread lock keeps the handle in it's location WITHOUT the lock nut. The nut just didn't look clean enough for me.

Ive been thinking about doing that **** with the matching steering wheel but i dont think i have enough of the "retro" look to pull it off... those wheels, in good shape cost nearly as much as a damn momo wheel.. there is a guy on here who had done the entire conversion and it does look sweet

I found an oldsmobile intrigue shift **** at the salvage yard. I decided to to take it as it matches the factory ebony color. I put it in my dads z28. It could use some trimming but the **** looks pretty good. I will post a photo of it when I get a chance.

Hopefully this photo shows up of what **** I am talking about.

Just use the thread lock. To do any work you'll have to loosen the set screws on the adapter and remove the whole thing.

I got an answer over at Thirdgen.org, some of the guys there say the shifters for this purpose should be interchangeable so, I think I'm going to give it a go and see how it looks. If It's bad, well, I'm only out $50.
