Default Ebay Short Shifter

Has anyone ever used this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_3284wt_1166

If so what guide did you use? Was it difficult, how does it feel?

READ THIS: eBay, this wonderful online auction where you can normally get stuff for dirt cheap, is NOT the place you want to be buying stuff for your Audi. There are some exceptions though. The eBay short shifter is one of these. They are a lot cheaper than the ones you find from tuning companies and yet still work just as good

don't know if you already checked out audiworld.com:

the install is for a Stratmoshpere short shifter but can't imagine it being much different.

You've used that one? I heard that one doesn't work at all with our cars by someone..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Short...Q5fAccessories I've had this one on my car for about a year now and it's great. It's a B&M replica so you can use the B&M instructions. You should have searched before posting.

^I just bought the same exact shifter from JC the other day. Haven't had a chance to install it yet but it doesn't look too bad. Not sure if he's installed it yet either actually. I've never heard anything but good feedback about that particular shifter.

yea u need to make sure it will work. i specifically looked for the B&M style. the install was really easy. only cause i have the shifter box out of the car.. i have the PDF of the instructions if you want them. i printed a copy out for CCA4 and i emailed them to one of the sellers i bought mine from since he didnt have them.
