    AUDI RS4 SHORT SHIFTER INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

       You will need the following tools for ease of installation:-
       
        1/4” or 3/8” socket set with metric sockets
        10 mm ring spanner
        6 mm hex T wrench 200 mm long and magnetic
        No 20 Tork driver
        right angle circlip pliers
        grease

        STEP 1
        Remove gear stick knob by unscrewing and then remove the console fascia that houses
        the rubber boot.

        STEP 2
        See fig. 1 and remove two 10 mm nuts and sound proofing cover

        STEP 3
        See fig. 2 loosen two 6 mm hex head bolts by one turn only. These may be tight as they
        have stub lock fitted at the factory.

        STEP 4
        See fig. 3 and follow instructions on picture. The assemble will now drop down to give
        access for the next step.

        STEP 5
        See fig. 4 remove four Tork screws and two 6 mm hex head screws. This will then allow
        for the removal of the standard shifter assemble unit form the vehicle.

        STEP 6
        Remove small circlip form the shift lever to allow for removal of the shift lever from the
        assemble unit. Now take the short shifter lever and install into the assembly unit with
        some grease. Ensure that all standard factory parts are placed back into the assembly
        along with the short shifter. See fig. 5  The short shifter assembly unit is now ready to
        install in the vehicle.

        STEP 7
        See fig. 6 follow instructions on the picture. It may help to place some grease on the base
        of the spacers to keep them in place during installation of the shifter assembly unit.

        STEP 8
        See fig. 7 install short shifter assembly unit back into vehicle. This is the most difficult
        stage of the installation. Insert the four Tork screws and ensure that the four spacers
        do not fall out of place. Insert hex head screw No 1 but do not tighten up at this stage.
        Insert hex head screw No 2 along with plate into short shifter linkage, but do not tighten
        at this stage.

        STEP 9
        See fig. 7 the hex head screw No 1 in the above step is now ready to tighten up. Locate
        the assembly unit so that the hex head screw No1 is in the middle of the slot at its
        fixing point.

        STEP 10
        See fig. 3 and reassemble the four 10 mm nuts

        STEP 11
        The hex head screw No 2 referred to in step 8 is now ready to tighten up. This screw
        allows for adjustment backwards and forwards of the shifter linkage along the gearbox
        shift rail to allow for  fine tuning of gear engagement. You will know when it is adjusted
        correctly as you will have free movement across the whole range of gears including
        reverse. We would now suggest replacing ONLY the gear stick knob and go for a test
        drive. You will still have access to carry out fine tuning of the shifter linkage if  required.

        STEP 12
        Once the test drive has proved satisfactory all other parts are now ready to reinstall.
