when switching to rachet shifters in A3's
 

do yalls revers lights work still? do you have to hold down the brake still to bring it out of park....

any other issues i should know about when installing my th350 with my quarter stick?

If you wire up the reverse lights to the ratchet shifter's supplied switch, they will work. As for needing to hold the brakes, that is an OEM feature that aftermarket shifters do away with. When you start pulling your shifter appart, you'll see what I am talking about.
