Mine was a little more complicated

A manual **** on an A6 shifter

I designed and fab'd the adaptor myself

Used <$2 in parts and took about 2 hours to build & install

Push down, shift, let go, it pops back up

Here's my contribution and question.
In the spring I am installing a MGW short throw. My question is can I still use this 60th anniversary ****?
Thanks.
