I have driven both of these cars and loved the feel of the shifter, which is lacking on my A4 (sloppy, long throw). Will any kits give the same tight feel that Honda/Acura have?

The pre-facelift cars with the 2.0 were better. The new shifter feels horrible.

Default Mine feels great now
from a fork in applesauce to short, direct, precise throws. It's the first thing I did and my favorite mod.
