RK Sport carries a bunch of shifter combos, go to www.rksport.com and check it out. I love my B&M don't miss shifts with it at all.

I don't know if it's the same way with these cars, but all the ford truck guys swear by transgo. I've also heard good stories about them in f-bodies. I've always heard to stay away from b&m unless it's an old school tranny like a th-350 or something.

A lot of people here use the Trans-go in their cars. Very popular and well liked item. If you want a shift kit, look no further IMO..

Are you an M6 or an A4? That would help?

Transgo! They run about $110, and expect to pay that much also for installation.

Wow, are you serious? The B&M shift kit, Hurst shift kit, ect. Shift kits for M6's are more efficient and effective than on an A4.

That's the first I've heard of shift kits for M6's too. I've seen plenty of Shifters, but no shift kits. All the shift kit on the auto. does is firm up the shifts, and reduce the time that the clutches slip, making it shift faster, and supposedly increasing tranny life. Inform us about these M6 shift kits, please. ---J.Bird
