A4 Shift **** Adapter I order a shift **** from Thunder Racing (2" w/tail) and the A4 adapter from Corvette Accessories. The **** came with spacers and that's it, and the adapter came with the allen wrench. Do I need anything else to install the shift ****? A spring maybe? The **** is too big to fit over the adapter. Any ideas or alternative solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!
I have the shift **** on my A4, but the adapter for mine worked well. Is the inner diameter of the way too large for the ****, or is it slightly bigger? You could be able to turn it down with a lathe if you have access to one. If I remember correctly, the adaptor screw must be flush with the surface of the adapter for the **** to slip over it. A picture of mine installed:
My **** was threaded on the inside for the adapter. Is your adapter not threaded on the top? The various plastic/cardboard shims supplied with the **** were for lining up the letters correctly as you tightenen it up. SmokeySS: I purchased my shift **** from Thunder Racing about a year or so ago. I do not know if they have stopped carrying them or not. I think that they were originally manufactured by MBA Products.

The shifter has to be pressed down to go into gear. Once you are in gear say 1st, you can just move it up into any gear except reverse and park. Those 2 have to be pressed down to get into if I remember correctly. I haven't had a problem with mine.
