Sorry, but, as far as I know, it DOES unscrew.

http://www.fourtitude.com/resources/...091203_1a1.pdf on that link if u scroll down to page 4 of 20 towards the bottom it says To remove the shift **** you must cut the clamp holding the shift **** we have included? is this true is theree something i need to cut or should i just stop being a pu$$y and unscrew it harder? i'm just afraid it'll completly break off?

 

You're right. Sorry, it is different than the B5.

I CAN see what they are talking about, though.
Under the boot, at the top of the shaft, there is a small hose clamp. It needs to be snipped with cutters.
Can you see it in the photo?

 

if i do snip it will i be able to put the original shift **** back on or somehow find a place to buy a replacement hose clamp?

 

You should have a replacement clamp with your SS kit. Do you have a kit or are you just trying to get the **** off on your own? If you don't, then yes, you will need to buy a new clamp. Audi uses one-time clamps. They have to be cut off. A replacement hose clamp will obviously have the screw to tighten it down or to loosen it.

 

Hey, Imola! Don't let Audihere see you posting that welcome link. It might set him off, again!

 

His issue, not mine.

 

Not sure what the SS kit really is? and yes i am trying to get the **** off on my own and if i do need to buy a new clamp do i just go to audi and ask them for another one ? and after looking at my car in the light with the boot and plastic cover up i dont really see what i need to snip , i'll upload a picture later on so maybe ytou can point it out easier to me because i'm obviously a dumba$$
