Crazy Q, probably wrong board 2, but anyone run the A6 2.7t shift knob on the S4, looks way better

IMO. Much more slender and not this round thing. Plus it still has the 6 speed tree on it.

I have not priced this thing at the dealer yet, but anyone know of a possibly cheaper place to get it. I am expecting the dealer to be around $100-150.

Default Nope, I just saw one for the first time yesterday. I think it may be a 2001 spec, because the

2000 that I test drove had the tennis ball one as I recall. Clair's has a wood one in 5 speed but it looks to have the same shape as the one I am in search of. Just hit the link below and put in 2001 A6 2.7T<ul><li><a href="http://www.clairparts.com/">Clair</a></li></ul>

Default I saw a very similar **** on an S4 at the NY auto show 2 years ago

someone posted a pic of it here, but then i never saw the **** on any production car. It wasn't wood and it had the right shift pattern.

Default My problem with the Rob **** or the Wood ***** is two things........

You get a 3rd degree burn trying to touch metal in AZ so a metal **** is insane, and my hand slips off of the wood ones when going quickly through the gears.

Its like $40-60 from the dealer. Can't remember what I paid but it feels much better IMO.

Default I solved the Rob **** scalding problem with a small leather pouch. I keep it in the car on...

summer days. When I park it, I slip the pouch over the ****...no more burns. I don't mind the minor inconvenience, as the extra heft of the **** in combination with the UUC SS really makes for smooth shifts.
