Just purchased one of these from Ebay and has arrived in many bags and many bits - has anyone fitted one that can give any tips, pitfalls etc...
Thanks

Thanks for the help just fitted it, took about half an hour and you don't really need the instructions as it uses 80% of the original audi parts anyway - Very impressed so far. I have it set on minimum throw distance and it all works really well, reverse is also spot on.
Got to be the best bargain i have ever purchased at 19 pounds plus postage !!!
Off for a play now !!!!!!

You'll ditch it soon for a JHM one

can i ask why, as this unit is a complete copy of a well enginered BM shifter - which i have always thought were OK in the past having fitted them to a few of my cars !!

well to each their own.
the BM shifter is everything but a well engineered product for the B5 S4!
Take a look:

there is no doubt about it, the JHM one looks beautiful and you can tell that it is well made with a price to match - but what is the main difference in application in the car...Just interested to know, i won't be changing mine in the short term as money is a bit tight at the moment but who knows what the future may bring...
