Default Short throw shifter--Need advice

What do you all think about them? A salesman at the local dearership said that Audi doesn't put them in their cars because the vibration migrates down to the transmission. Does this make sense. In high school I drove a TR6 which had the tightest, shortest throw I have ever tried. That car was a 1968 model. Any problems with them?

Default your dealer is full of it.....neuspeed shortshifter is one of the best mods I've done.....

god I hate it when dealers talk out of their asses....but then again when don't they?

no, it does not transmit more vibrations.

Why doesn't Audi put a tighter shifter in their cars?

That's funny, TR6s didn't exist in 68. Maybe it was a TR250?
