Has anyone put the shifter paddles on their A4? Also, I want to put a different shift **** on. The one that's there is too much like a camry. (Blah, vomit!)
Any ideas?

 

SO IM ASSUMING INSTEAD OF PADDLE SHIFTERS ON YOUR STEERING WHEEL YOU HAVE STEREO CONTROLS RIGHT? WHAT YEAR IS YOUR A4 AND WHAT KIND OF A4 IS IT???

 

It's "03, but no radio controls. I have heard of someone putting a newer steering wheel on, but wanted to know if anyone hand tried it. Also, wanted to know if anyone has changed out the tiptronic shift ****?

 

Expensive and a lot of work. I looked into it. You need to add the wiring hub that goes behind the wheel too. You might get a used RS wheel for $1000 to $2000, I don't know how much the hub is.

You can get a MOMO shift ****, don't know if anyone else makes one.

 

You know.... it IS possible.

But is it worth spending over a grand in parts just to have paddle shifters?

Steering wheel and Airbag = $1000-1200 for ummmm. RS4 Wheel for example
Labor = 4 hours at about $90/hour = $360

Easily under $1500.00 just to do this... VERY possible but not worth the money. Instead go invest on some performance parts

and to answer you question on the tiptronic shift ****, also possible but im not too sure where to find the part. I know someone on here knows where to get the adapter but I cant recall who...

while you are changing your **** make sure you put a short shifter on your TIP aswell... hahahha jk

 

Supream Power has the TIP mod you are looking for plus the momo *****.

thats the **** right there! goign to order myself one in the coming months.

 

here's a pic of the Spp tip mod and a momo airmetal shift **** from my car.

sorry for the small pic... i'm too lazy to upload a bigger one

 

hey EVOLA4, does the new shifter work pretty good? I was thinking about buying one aswell but I wasnt sure if I would have any issues? How was the install? and how do you put the car into gears that require the botton to be pressed down?

 

Shifter works great. The only thing that I would recommend is putting some thread lock on the scews that hold it in place otherwise you will have to tighten it from time to time. The install was pretty straight forward and SPP supplies great instructions. took about 15 min. hardest part was taking off the oem ****. In order to put it into gear you pull up on the **** now instead of pushing a button. I love it, Looks and feels great! I have had it for almost two years and never had a problem.

 

Oh really? Ok cool. I think Im going to order mine when my fat commission check comes in at the end of the month. Its not a pain to pull it up? Is it meant to be pulled up? Or is it just a ghetto rig?

Sorry for all the questions... I just like to know the product before I buy.
