I would not buy a used SHIFT KIT. You can buy a brand new one for $120 range.

Really all it is some spring upgrades for your A4 and it also adjust a few other tracks and it will truly make your car shift firmer and plant you in your seat. I was going to do it, but I had a DYNO tune done and my shift firmness and points were adjusted to do the same thing.

Installing was a bit of a PITA.

Sorry, I didn't come back sooner. The great thing about the it is the upgraded springs and the new control plate they provide in the kit, but you can see similiar results with a tune. If you want to tackle a relatively easy job do the kit, if not, get the tune and enjoy.
