Could it be true?

Word on the street is that Hurst/B&M is making a shifter for the C5.... The A4 C5!:willy:

Seems they were looking for some donor cars in CA to do testing on.

The contact person is Rigo and his number is 818-882-6422, I'm going to call on Monday just to see what's up.

Just in case you're not sure why this is so great, have a look at the only viable alternative at this time. The Grond Chronicles (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-general/1536354-the-grond-chronicles-reincarnation-part-6-dialup-perpetual-wretchedness.html)

It's not a question of need. Does the C5 need a bigger cam, heads, intake, splitters, spoilers, side skirts, a 3200 stall converter.... Probably not but they sure are fun!

Although if you do want to manually shift your A4 the stock system is less than ideal for this.

I ran a ratchet shifter in my 83 Z28 Camaro

and it was a fun little toy to play with.

I would honestly not mind going with one in my Vert...although I would want to see what a finished product looks like installed in someone else's car before tearing mine apart.

I run the gears in mine all the time, and VERY RARELY miss the gear I want, but having the ratchet is a guaranteed way that you are not going to miss a gear.
