I don't know how many of you'all check the market place threads but anyone with a '10 or '11 A6 should take a look here: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=221333. I had the Hurst paddles until a couple of weeks ago but the heat distortion in ABQ ran me out of adjustment (adjuster screws threaded out the back). These though are what I would have expected from Hurst in the first place.

So you mean your plastic/delrin pieces warped?

Wouldn't surprise me....we quit selling that style and stuck directly to the Aluminum ones after having some breakage issues.

You making the meeting tonight?? Don't think that I've met ya yet....

No, the adjustment screws that go through the metal frame that keep a gap between the paddle and the TapShift button ran out of adjustment without any warpage of the Hurst unit. Hurst says it's due to the steering wheel expanding & contracting with temperature but in my case there was no longer any gap (bad because it shifted me into M on it's own) and one of the adjuster screws threaded out the back of the frame (still no gap). I double checked the installation and still had the same result. In any case the new ones in the market place just replace the OEM button in the housing and don't have the clearance issues the Hurst paddles all have. I just thought people might like to see an alternative.

Can't make the meeting tonght. Maybe the next...

Hmm these look a little suspect. Looks like they fit right over the button so you won't get that rocking/lever motion you get with the hurst. Missing a shift at the wrong time could do me some real harm.

There's a couple of videos in that thread that show it being installed as well as in operation. Take a minute to watch them before just dismissing them out of hand.

I don't dig that paddle shifting buisness....

I just put my A6 in drive, and floor the peddle, and Chantilly gets way gone!

Same here! Paddle shifting takes too much effort...

I just let off the gas a bit, push the clutch in, swap gears and reverse the procedure...

Sometimes I double clutch but that's a different story that most of y'all might not be ready for.....except Andre since he knows a little about 10spds and the likes.

Word up Friday Lovers!

no you're not, somebody here might be interested in those paddle shifter thingies...

I agree with Lou....it's good info. If I had an Auto I'd do anything I could to have more fun in it. Those look fun and I wel sell a few of the Hurst versions so it's a great product/idea no doubt.

Sometimes ya gotta have tough skin around here.....but no worries man, keep bringin it!

Easy. I watched and have concerns. You know what they say about opinions....

[bigsquirrel]

Weird night at the track. The 12.2 curse continues. Had a hell of a head wind. One of these days conditions will be right when everything on the squirrel is working.

No. I was looking into those, I play around with the shifters from time to time. I wanted the Hurst ones but are kinda expensive.

[Ivan @ Southwest Speed]

Happy Mother's Day out there to all you Hot Roddin Mommas!

Hope that you enjoyed a great day today.

[Ivan @ Southwest Speed]

Couple things....

Was thinking that a CCNM/Camaro5 Photo Album Thread might be appropriate. With all the killer pics we take and cars that we have, wouldn't it be cool to just hit the thread with straight pics and little to no dialogue?? A true Photo Album....

Thoughts.

Also, going to sell a couple Subwoofer systems as I'm going a totally different direction. First crack to CCNMers and C5ers.

(1) JL Audio 10W7 in vented box made to fit in the Camaro....

Pair of Boston Acoustic 12's in separate boxes specifically built for 5th Gen. Boxes come together to make one. Its the setup in my Camaro now.

Both are sick setups and great add ons. You'd just need to add an Amp to either and all the sudden corpses will rise from the graves to enjoy the awesomeness.

Hit me up direct if you're interested in pics or whatever.

I'm thinking the Photo album thing would be sick!

[ZoMBiE_KMF]

I like the photo album thread idea!

[Ivan @ Southwest Speed]

Can never get enough Camaro pics right???
