    They use the OE gaitor locking device, if that's not on the car any more then a little PTFE tape will do a similar job.

          I've got one of these on my urS4 and it's really smart. Strangely it seems to make the shift more positive as well as looking nice! I hope that's down to the weight and not just my imagination.

            It's the weight that makes the shift smoother; for daily use, it's loads better! The only downside is that you do have to be more positive with the side to side movement, for example 2-3, when changing quickly, although, TBH, it wasn't that great as standard so the gear knob makes minimal difference there - it's just worth bearing in mind. 3-4 4-3 and 1-2 is a lot better though

            The hard anodising really makes these things feel a cut above you usual alloy gear knob and I'm really pleased with retaining the nice ergonomics of the OE gear knob, as well as the OE locking mechanism

                  If it's the same fitting, then I can have some made up in an S4/S6/S8 logo Would need orders for 5 off to make it pay though.

                    prob is that the auto knob has a button on the side so might not be so easy to get remade

                          Andy, I got the knob today and its phenomenal. Looks and feels great, the extra weight smooths shifts. Thanks!
