I gave my brother in law a new shifter for his 2002 A-4 which I
purchased in Germany from a dealer with virtually no english language
skills. My brother in law lives a long way from me so I can't actually
see firsthand what the probelm is. I know that my wifes Volkswagen
shifter is just threaded on, but I also know that in certain matters
Audi does things differently. I made the mistake of trying to unscrew
my Saab shifter **** once and ended up breaking the expensive nylon
piece on the bottom. Any and all information will be greatly
appreciated.
