New UUC shift ***** - steel and CF/steel
Hi guys,
We've got a couple of new shift **** designs designed for the S4/RS4/A6:
<b>RK2 Steel</b> is a stainless steel RK2, nickel-plated for a matte finish. New insert in AudiSport red is inlaid, better than original equipment:
<a href="http://216.182.53.5/Audi_shift_knob.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://216.182.53.5/AUDI_RKM1X_small.jpg"></a>
<b>New RK2 CF/Steel</b> is the same steel RK2 as above, wrapped in genuine carbon fiber:
<a href="http://216.182.53.5/Audi_shift_knob.htm" target="_blank"><img src="http://216.182.53.5/AUDI_RKCF1X_small.jpg"></a>
Click the pictures above for larger views, details, and pricing. <b>These ***** are currently in stock and available for immediate shipment.</b>

can you get them w/ just a plain shift pattern insert?
and would putting an 18.3oz ball at the end of your shifter cause premature wear on the shift mechanism... wouldn't it be like driving around w/ your hand resting on it?

Re: can you get them w/ just a plain shift pattern insert?
They are only available as shown with the inlaid shift pattern insert. You really have to see these, they are hand-crafted in Europe under license with an inlaid shift pattern insert. You can't tell from the photos, but the insert has depth... the raised metal sections and colored parts under a clear top layer give it a unique and exquisite look.
The weight of the shift **** is of absolutely no consequence. Resting your hand on a shifter is the equivalent of about 15+ lbs pulling in a specific direction. Your hand is never just "resting on top", it is pulling or pushing (depending on even or odd number gear). The shift **** weighs nowhere near what your hand/arm weigh, and is simply a weight straight down. The Audi shifter and linkage is entirely independent of the transmission... you could take a sledgehammer and **** your shifter through the floor and the transmission would be completely unaffected.
