So I am thinking about picking up a Tanoga Shifter for my first mod. I really wanted to go with the ToyGuy Shifter but I can't find any and I found a used Tanoga for pretty cheap. I have read alot on it and everyone seems to think it comes in at a close but distant second to the ToyGuy.

AWE's website lists that the throw of the Tanoga is 50%...is this true? ALso I'm curious how much shorter than stock it is? I want some thing with shorter throw than stock but I don't want it completely chopped off if you know what I mean. I'd like to still be able to use the arm rest when I'm casually shifter.

Anything else I shoudl know about the Tanoga?

Thanks for the help

I prefer my ToyGuy because it's a bit smoother. The Tanoga is a very nice shifter as well although a bit notchier. The throw reduction for the ToyGuy shifter is ~30% and the Tanoga is ~50%. After installing my ToyGuy shifter it was significantly shorter and felt about like I would want it. Zold-manS4's Tanoga felt a little too short but I imagine after getting used to it that it would be fine. I suggest you check out <a href="http://www.toyguy.o-f.com/" target="_blank">Craig's website</a>

And once I can get a hold of one I probably would rather have one but I found the Tanoga pretty cheap and I figured if I could sell it at a later time I could at least test it out.

I'm a bit worried about the 50% reduction though. To me that seems a bit more than what I was wanting.

Thanks for the info!

Tanoga is pretty close to the height of the stocker

The Tanoga is the same hieght as the stock shifter. His friend may have cut it down.

In deferance to the TG craze, I prefer the Tanoga. I've driven with the UUC, TG and Tanoga. I actually rate the UUC and Tanoga over the TG.

I do prefer a bit of a notchy shifter, as it feels more gated and precise. The TG felt like the stock, with just shorter throws, and I never liked the stock shifting.

Your best bet is to go to a local Audi GTC, and drive a few others cars, so you can get a good feel. Installation is probably the biggest issue for "bad" SS's.

I have the Tanoga. I like it but, sometimes the notchiness gets to me. I have a frined who has the UUC, it is kind of between the two. The Tanoga is the shortest of all the ones I am aware of but, you do sacrafice smooth operation.......IMO go Toy Guy it is shorter than stock and smooth. Although I have never experience it I would comment that given the amount of hype it receives it must carry some validity to claims.

I went from a Tanoga to the Toy Guy and would definitely wait for the TG shifter. Much smoother.
