All in all it works pretty good. Im still disappointed in the overall quality of the stock button, as it seriously is like an xbox button to shift.

Here are some quick pics I snapped
Parts list.. my dad has a A6 might be interested for drag strip..

The only problem with your version is people need to know how to use it. I ran an M6, boy was slow shifting, needless to see he did not win.
