If you desire the ultimate in shifting, the JH Motorsports B8/B8.5 A4/A5/S4 and S5 Solid Short Throw Shifter is the perfect solution. This shifter replaces the OEM metal/plastic shifter shaft with a solid steel weighted shifter shaft while replacing the OEM plastic ball / socket assembly with a steel spherical bearing as well (Industry Exclusive). This will give you a more mechanical race car feel when shifting while eliminating the numbness felt with the stock shifter. Simply put, you will have crisper, cleaner and smoother shifts while reducing the throw at the same time. So if you want the ultimate shifting experience and not just a cheap extension for your B8 A4/A5/S4 and S5 then the JHM "Solid" Short Throw shifter is just for you.

JHM steel shifter shaft (1/2" shorter than stock), JHM solid pivot assembly (Industry Exclusive), OE type lower link with 2 holes for throw adjustments, New pushdown reverse springs (stock (plain), medium (silver) and stiff (gold)). Retains stock shifter knob.
