Default installing gearshift ****

Hello, new member here, just picked up my new A8L. Year end special off the lot, so I did not have the luxury of ordering exactly what I want. Anyone know if installing the wood shift **** is an easy DIY? I searched the site but did not see any info. This was an easy job in my BMW 7 series, so thought it might be similar.

Looks simple. Let us know the price of the part and choice of wood for our info.

Good luck and enjoy that car!


From the service manual:

Notes since I can't post the photo:

"Sleeve" "1" is the part directly below the ****.

"Lever" "2" is the **** itself.
