Gauging Interest Thread, JHM short shifter for 4000's
I have been talking to Jason Harbison owner of JHMotorsports about building a short shifter for the 4000 model of cars. His short shifters / modified linkages for other audi models have been nothing short of amazing and with awesome reviews and results.

Now you are talking...
<center><img src="http://kvquattro.com/tfaImages/060000.png"></center><p>Part #29 in the above diagram (PN# 431 711 221 "ball socket") is now NLA. This part wears out on higher mileage cars and time isn't friendly to the rubber, any reproductions would be a big help. I don't see why you would want to eliminate the push down system for reverse, its there for a reason.

what reason? audi is the only company to do this, are we the only ones who need it?
yeah the one i made of a b3/b4 shifter and oem parts combined is already way better.
a final product will be amazingly better, esp with the sphreic bearings for selector rod etc

No, I'd rather have a version that fits my coupe.... which nobody makes :-(
'81 to '84 coupes and 4000s use a totaly different linkage, they also have a cable operated clutch!
