Re: Tip Shift **** upgrade
After going back and forth with VAGparts i was able to find out some good info. They need a VIN number from one of the cars above that have the S-line preforatted **** for a TIP. Once they get that number they can look it up and make the part available to everyone.
I also recieved a great DIY , hopefully someone can make this a sticky..
Removing and installing selector lever handle
Removing
– Shift selector lever to position “D”.
– Turn sleeve -1- anti-clockwise and push down onto stop.
– Pull button -2- out of selector lever handle 3-carefully, just far enough to be able to insert a cable tie between button and selector lever.
Note
Under no circumstances pull button out further, as selector lever handle would then become damaged.
Use the cable tie to secure the button in its pulled position -arrow-, as shown in the illustration.
Remove the selector lever handle by pulling it off to the top.
Installing
Installation is carried out in reverse sequence; note the following:
– Shift selector lever to position “D”.
Note
To install the selector lever handle -3- the button -2- has to be pulled out to the stop and must be secured with either a cable tie -arrow- or with the assembly aid supplied together with the new handle.
If, by mistake, the button has not been secured, it must not be pulled out of the selector lever handle using mechanical tools. Position a compressed air gun at the bottom of the handle and carefully press the button out with compressed air.
Fit selector lever handle -3- fully onto selector lever; button -2- points towards the driver. The handle must engage in annular groove of selector lever.
Remove the cable tie -arrow-or assembly aid; the button mechanism will then engage in the vertical groove on the selector lever. If necessary, press the button into the selector lever handle.
Pull sleeve -1-upwards and engage by turning in clockwise direction
hope this helps anyone else who is looking to do an upgrade... maybe that S6 **** will work now

Great information, I'm thinking about making a brushed aluminum shifter **** for my Q5 and needed this informaiotn to pull it off. Anyone have information on the inner working of the ****? Since I'm making this myself, I'm a little paranoid to disasemble my stock shifter incase I want to switch back.
