Shifter Knob Swap Question

[theedge111]

I purchased a S5 Air Leather shift knob to match my Rs5 steering wheel, the seller told me he would include a new "adjustable clip" for me for when I remove my old knob as I guess I have to break the clip that is on there now.

There was no "clip" in the package that arrived so I'm not sure what I need to do the job. Can one of you DIY guys identify the clip from his removal pictures and let me know what I need to go out and purchase before I remove my old shift knob.

I'm pretty sure it's the silver thing lol as that is not on the shifter right now.

And as always, thanks for all of the help!

Thanks guys! So can I just roll into the Canadian Tire here in Rocky and they will know what a hose clamp is? Is there different sizes? Sorry for the dumb questions, I'm useless at this stuff but am learning a lot!

worked for me too

Your build thread is awesome, you've done some incredible things with that A4 by the way!!

They should know. Ask for one that will fit the size of a garden hose and you should be good.

Here you go bud. It's a lot thicker then my old S4 wheel and I really missed the air leather I had in my B7 S4 so this one was a perfect fit for me

That wheel is realy nice. The B7 and B8 et al wheels are WAY better than the B6 ones. I should get one and just plan to not crash and need an airbag.
