I didn't know until now that they went under, if you look at www.ThunderRacing.com web page they still have all their stuff listed but limited stock. Try calling them to see if they have whatever you need in stock.
Peace,

As Posted On ThunderRacing.com:
After many years of quality service and products, MBA has decided to close their doors. Since Thunder Racing has always been MBA's leading distributor we have been able to acquire their remaining inventory. We will be listing the remaining items as they become available. All of the MBA items listed will be available in limited quantities and colors. Special orders will not be available.

Try http://www.billetballs.com/
I never liked the hot and cold feel of those metal ***** anyway.
If you want a polymer **** with custom engraving try:
http://www.epcomfg.com/shiftknobs.html
or
http://www.flameball.com/
or
http://www.fatknobs.com/
or
a modded Pool ball like me
There's a lot of choices out there. If Billet ***** can't make what you want (like a big enough diameter) I might know of some other places that can custom make what you want.

Doesn't anyone make a shifter that is a minature version of that "purple lightning" ball that you always see in Spencer's Gifts or other similar shops? You know, the one that is about the size of soccer ball and when you touch it, the lightning goes to your fingertips? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

I have some newbie questions for you guys. Can someone tell me what it means on the Thunder Racing website when is says w/tail? Also I have an A4, can i just replace the stock handle without having to do any mods? I think for that I need the 2 1/4" one. Right? Sorry for all the questions.

Billetballs.com has some of the most expensive, but can be custom engraved and so forth.
For economy, try Flame Ball:
http://www.flameball.com/Products/Automatics.htm
They can convert most of their ***** to work with an automatic.
This company mentioned they have an adapter to fit automatics.
http://www.conceptualpolymer.com/prod01.htm
Custom ***** for auto's are slim pickings. Another alternative is to get a auto handle from a different factory car. I don't know what fits, but maybe the vette handle (or another model) is better?

You have to get an adaptor if you want to use a **** for an auto. MBA had the adaptors, now I'm guessing Thunder has it now since they have MBA's inventory. With the adaptor in place, you screw the **** onto it and then push down on the **** to move the shifter. 
If you scroll up to the second post, I have the version with the tail as well.
