Default I would like to thank Audi for making the most ridiculous shift **** ever

So, the chrome is flaking off my shift **** and Audi won't replace it. I buy an new one thinking "no biggie, I'll just swap them out". I order the RS4 **** from Achtuning and it's a screw on. After about 20 minutes of struggling. I have to get on the forum to figure out how to get my shift **** off! I finally get it off only to find that the stock shift **** is completely different from the one I just got delivered. ARRGGG!

Will these fit or do I send it back?

Default Talk to Brian at Avalon: 303 400 3001. He is working on sourcing this for me:

He hasn't guaranteed that he can get it yet, but he is talking to some of his european contacts.
