Custom Gear Knob Adapter

Post by launching_rs4 » Thu Sep 03, 2015 7:28 am

Hi Guys,

I want to put a late model manual transmission shift knob on my C5 RS6 and Supreme Power Parts used to sell an adapter kit (tip mod)
to allow you to any shifter you wanted onto a tip transmission which allowed you to engage gears by pulling up.

There website seems to be down so I guess they are long gone as a company, long story short do you know anyone that sells a kit such as
this still or where something can be sourced?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Damian

Heres a pic, but definitely not the gear knob option I'm going to choose.

Interesting post, good to know that a kit like that was available!

I'd like to change my setup to a leather boot setup like the newer Audis.

Ill look into this 8)

I don't get it, what's wrong with standard? Why try to make an auto lever look like a manual lever?

Am I just getting old or are the newer owners just, well, of a different make up?

Crushed bollocks, or the bling gear levers?

So Audi tried to make their newer auto lever look like manual?

It must come down to personal preference or opinion but I like the look of the new levers with the leather boot.
