Default Shift **** needed

The leather on my shift **** (1995 B4 Quattro Sport) is wearing out and I'm looking to replace it. Unfortunately I autocross the car and as stupid as it sounds I have to use the stock shift ****.

The dealer price on it is actually reasonable but before I buy from them I thought I'd check and see if anyone has replaced theirs and wants to sell it cheap. Needs to be from a B4 (I think) and must be in good shape with little wear. Thanks!

New leather ones are on ebay all the time for $29.95 IIRC.

Default DIY.

Buy them ****, and with heat and a jewlers screw driver, pry up the rs4 gear lens and replace with one from a 5 speed **** from and A4. I almodt did that but I ended up buying a car with a 6 speed ;-)

Default None there now

Lots of "Audi" shift ***** for sale on eBay but none of them are the factory 90 sport ****, they seem to be either 3rd party or European ***** off a newer model. There is one 100/200 **** and boot but it's hard to tell if it's the same and it's already up to 1/2 the price of a new **** ($66) with 3 days left.

Default www.euro-audi-parts.com

Has some in stock, IIRC, either "air-leather" or black/silver alcantara, I have the black alcantara, which looks light gray from the suede like material.
