I know a cheap upgrade for the 5 speed FWD 1.8T's is to fit the Audi TT 180 FWD selector arm (P/N 8NO711051A) which is under

pretty sure it is.. but havent tried as dont own a 4x4.

heard mixed reports on the shortshift kits for fwd though...

I've been known to complain about the long-throw gearchange when I first got the 4x4 (I'm using the vRS leather gear level with 4x4 logo), but I've got used to it now.

Wouldn't a TT gearknob look out of place in a 4x4?

You don't change the gear knob, just the selector arm which is located under the airbox.

In that case I might be tempted...

How about blazing the trail for us, Eddy?

I know it's been a while since I've posted, but my A3 Quattro has the TT part installed and it shortened the front to back throw nicely, Since adding the B&M Lever it's been even better

:cheers:

Do you have the part no. and is your A3 5 or 6 speed?

Eddy, you would have to get one off a 5 speed Quattro TT, which are the early ones.

I've got a couple of six speed ones kicking about somewhere from fitting Neuspeed ones in the past, but im pretty sure its different to the five speed.

That's what I was thinking Ross. I'll have a look on Etka when I can get on a PC with a suitable screen.

Well, sorry I haven't been round much, but the B&M part is: 45114

And a pic / more info can be found HERE

Will try to get the TT part number before we all die of old age

:cheers:

(Oh, and what's up Andy I see you're bouncing around the forums a bit )

how much does the b&m part cost and can you only get it in plain metal?? i don't think i'd want it like that, leather covered would be nicer

you can get the b and m short shift from www.europerformance.co.uk for
