That's a link to a company that makes it so you can use any manual shift **** on an A4.

However, this thing sticks up so high i think 2 inches higher.

I have no experience with them, but others on here do. Some of their shift ***** can be had with a button for use on an auto. Check out their website and give them a call.

Do some searching in the Appearnce section on CZ28.com There's a guy that did it. All he did was cut 1.5" off the shaft making careful not to cut the white plastic "stick" or tube thing in the middle. He has detailed instructions and all that. Might be something I'll do in the future.

Heres mine:

I cut 3/4" off the metal shift linkage and 3/4" off the plastic piece going through the middle of the shaft so it lined up correctly. It sits about 1/4" shorter than the stock shifter did and feels real nice in your hand.

This is the Ichibahn Cruz shifter. You can get it from a number of places online, including Crutchfield.
