is the 98 and 99+ (push down/non push down) interchangeable?

(trying to buy the 99+ and use it in 98 to save 80 bucks

thanks

I really like my UUC Short Shift kit!
But I did get the pushdown and I believe you need it...
Best $250 I spent so far on the car...

NO, sorry you gotta pay the big bucks.

Not interchangeable, but still worth it. 2nd best mod I have.

The Neuspeed shifter for the earlier model cars replaces the shift box with the OEM parts from the later model cars, so they get rid of the push-down feature.

I used to think that the push-down reverse lockout was a great feature. But when I installed my Neuspeed shifter on my 98.5 car, I am SO GLAD I did. I do not miss the push-down feature at all. Especially looking at the mechanism for the push-down reverse on the original shifter -- it introduces so much extra slop into the shifter.
The A4's shifter is not that slick to begin with, even with a shortshifter (I am used to an Acura shifter). The push-down feature makes it worse.

I highly recommend the Neuspeed shifter, cost no object. I think it is my favorite mod.
