Looking for nice black shift ****

Looking for a nice black leather shift **** to replace the stock FB one. I really like the FD shift **** in my previous car (FD). Anyone have one similar that works with the FB?

Will the FD one work or do I need an S5 shifter?

Thanks,
Mark

Check out Momo. It doen't get any better. They have leather, carbon fiber, Al, mixes of all that. Handsome & functionally shaped. Italian is good.

I buy from Momo dealerships. Saved $50 w/ my last purchase. My last was Marshsport.com. Go online & find the best price w/ best service. Check out the MOMO site to find the most current *****. Italians wrote the book.

Most aftermarket ***** have three set screws that you screw against the shift rod. This way they can be universal and work for all cars. The screws are almost invisible if you aren't looking for them.

oh ok ... i thought they would be like a direct replacement for them. Do they start to get some play after a while or are they held pretty good by them?

Won't mess up the threads on the shifter?

They work fine, mine stays in place quite nice. A little adhesive inside helps too.
