Default I'll re-check the bolt in the elbow but I think it's more about Audi's design than the shifter...

like I said, overall I think the short shifter is great, there's only so much you can do with a shifter that felt like crap from the factory!!

The sloppy shifter was the first and only complaint I had with this car when I took it for a test drive.

I have had mine installed for coming up for 2 years and haven't had the slightest problem. Is it the **** or the lever that is loose? If you pop off the boot and surround you should be able to figure out what is loose.

Default thanks Greg, I'm going to take it off and try getting another zip tie a little tighter...

I probably didn't tighten it as much as I could have when I installed it.

Ridiculous. Drive hard? Your shifter should not be forced. Either a bad install, or bad driver.

Even the stock shifter would come loose if it wasn't installed properly.
