THE ABSOLUTE BEST MOD POSSIBLE FOR UNDER $50 IS A SHORT SHIFTER!!!!1111
The caps should tell you that there is no possible way to turn less than $50 into a much more enjoyable driving experience. I got one on ebay that is identical to the B&M version that sells for $180+ for $30 shipped. No install instructions were provided but I was able to get a write up from another seller. I plan on doing a right up at some point soon (gotta finish my damn TB waterpump etc and install the G2 (blower kit, not exhaust) befor hand though.) It is really simple with just a few important items to bear in mind for the pushdown reverse. If you spend your $50 on anything else you are an idiot, IMO, and if you have an automatic you are an even bigger idiot. I suggest this mod for anyone who doesnt have an SS and who has $30 or more to their name.

I was afraid of that, I'm so sorry, so sorry, so so sorry. I drove a tip a4 once....
The dealer had no 5 speeds and i wanted to pop my a4 cherry right then so I drove it anyway knowing there was no way i'd get a tip. It was the shortest test drive I've ever taken in any car. I tried out the tip and immediately terminated the test drive. I told the salesman that I was going to another dealership with M/T cars available and that I'd likely buy one there, and that I did. Before I get carried away about how certain cars shouldnt be available with an A/T i'll stop. But 1 more thing; seriously, how can any self proclaimed enthusist buy a fun to drive car and ask the salesperson to hold the fun. Can you not be bothered to shift? Does the wife not know how to drive stick? Do you like to hurt yourself? To think how much I love driving my A4 and then to hear from these deprived souls who claim to love "driving" their A/T a4s too makes me feel so bad. I mean do you A/T folks have any idea what you're missing. Flame away A/T posers. I can take the heat.
