I really like the idea of this. I miss driving a manual but I also love my A4....
I'd like to know about this as well. My goals for the car are more centered to towards carving the canyons than top speed. These paddle shifters catch my interest. Curious how the driveline would do long term.

this would be awesome, but I wonder how the fit of the paddles will be with the stock steering wheel since it's kind of chunky,

There you go

http://www.tciauto.com/Products/6x/

They also sell the paddles kit.

I wonder how it handles at the track (road racing).

I'm bringing this thread back from the dead since I'm modifying my 93 T/A essentially to 97 spec with it's 4l60e trans, opti, ECM- and all their harnesses. One of several goals for the car is installing a paddle shift- either the TCI 6x system or the Twist.

Looking for feedback- has anyone used either of these or other systems that may be out there? The car is going to be road raced, so durability and reliability and pretty important to me.
