Defenderworx A6 Shifter Install Question. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

AustinWithrow · 10-04-2013, 06:07 PM

So I just bought a Defenderworx Shifter for my 2012 A6, and I can't seem to get it on there right. I got it put on,and it will let you shift in to gear without holding the brake in? and I took the inner part off and put it on first and noticed that there wasn't a spring? is it suppose to have one? can't figure this out! please help.

According to the instructions there is a spring.

4. Slide the lower half of the DefenderWorx shifter (the inner shifter)
over the pointed stem, inserting the hole along the bottom panel of
the shifter and tighten the two set screws (do not over tighten the
screws).
5. Take the spring out of the upper part of the DefenderWorx shifter (the
pistol grip part) and place the spring over the pointed stem that is
sticking out of the lower half of the DefenderWorx shifter (the inner
shifter).
6. Place the upper part of DefenderWorx shifter (the pistol grip part)
over the spring and inner shifter.
7. Push the upper part of the DefenderWorx shifter all the way down so
it is sitting straight and flush against the inner shifter and tighten the
set screw (do not over tighten).

I looked at the instructions and saw that... but I never got one with my shifter? I wonder what size spring it takes? thanks for the info.
