A new 2016 model MIGHT fix the problem! I say MIGHT because the shift emblem on my 2014 was off skew from the factory. But you asked for EASY!

But then you may have to replace it with a car that has an automatic trans, if you want another Audi! Should last much longer than 4 yrs.

Liquid thread lock (Loctite) or superglue. If you use superglue screw the **** on quickly. It sets up fast.

There is a clamp if you lift up the boot, use a pair of diag pliers to squeeze it tighter.
