Megan Racing Short Throw Shifter – Audi A4 B5 1996–2001 – SS-003

The Megan Racing SS-003 short throw shifter is designed for manual-transmission Audi A4 B5 models, reducing the movement required between gears for a shorter and more direct shifting action. It provides a more precise, performance-focused shift feel while retaining the factory-style shifter location and operation. Megan Racing directly lists SS-003 for the Audi A4 B5 1996–2001, while Megan Racing Japan independently confirms the same application and part number.

Supplier technical data describes the shifter as high-strength billet steel with a nickel-plated finish for reduced friction and corrosion resistance. The design can reduce shift throw by up to approximately 40% and lower shift-knob height by roughly 1–3 inches depending on the vehicle configuration.

Important Fitment & Installation Notes: This product is intended for manual-transmission vehicles only. Specialist fitment data lists compatibility with both FWD and quattro B5 A4 applications across 1.8T and V6 configurations; however, exact transmission/shifter configuration should be confirmed before ordering, particularly where the vehicle has had a gearbox or linkage conversion.

Manufacturer Notice: Megan Racing classifies its shifters as off-road use only and states that correct installation and setup are the installer’s responsibility. Megan Racing provides a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects, subject to its warranty terms, and notes that its listed application years are based on US-market vehicles.
