toyguy short shifter - anyone?
Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
Another AW hero - welcome to RS246, S4MadMan [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I read somewhere that 95% of Americans think a 'manual' is the book that sits in the glovebox [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img]
Respect to you for opting for a 'stick shift' [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
As I said, it comes down to quality and longevity (and probably somesort of comeback in the event of it fecking up your gearbox for RS4 owners).

Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
Whoa the big Shifter debate...nice one [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] welcome to our US friends and i remember those names from my S4 days.
I think its fair to say a RS4 box is different to an S4 box and i can only speak for these shifters in my car.
Standard aweful [img]images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Tanoga Superb [img]images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
UCC stunning (my personal choice due to seeing it out of the box)
Stratmosphere very close to UCC but not as well made.
Toyguy unknown quantity to me , and i would like to see one and maybe try it.
These are my own findings and are my own thoughts, and im asked on a regular basis about shifters, its healthy that some one else is out there trying to make things better, long may it continur
Cheers

Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
barnabus im always at brookvale, so whenever ur at dee why i could drop over to give ur shifter a quick run. what was the general price and also installation cost? can any mechanic install the tanoga?
Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
I'm pretty sure there are details posted somewhere for fitting the tanoga.
He was fitting them by the bucket-load at a RR day a while back, so don't think they are too involved to do [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
Hopefully someone will point you at the link (the last one I had went to rs4.org, so is useless now).
Cheers,
John.

Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
Will, you know there are 2 types of shifters and they are different. I can't remember which one we need here but Karl would know it as he sold at least 2! I think it is the older style.

Re: toyguy short shifter - anyone?
After a long wait, all parts have been delivered! I have only tried Tanoga previously and I think the ToyGuy is very well engineered and sweet to use. Worth the wait in the end. [img]images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
