The REVIN Short Shifter Race for Audi 80 B4 models features a completely new design with a self-returning spring mechanism – a solution never seen before in this application. This short shifter is designed specifically for the Audi 80 B3/B4 platform and offers a significantly more precise, stiffer and sportier shift feel compared to the original design.
This is a clear race-inspired update that improves gear control, reduces jerkiness and gives the driver a direct mechanical connection to the drivetrain.
40% shorter gear rangeThe shift lever travel is reduced by up to 40% , making gear changes faster and more precise. Gear engagement is clear and predictable, especially during sporty driving.
310 mm height from the tunnel
The gear knob is positioned approximately 310 mm above the gearshift tunnel , closer to the steering wheel. This reduces hand movement and improves ergonomics during fast gear changes.
Chassis mounted construction
The REVIN Short Shifter is mounted to the frame , not the transmission like the original. This design minimizes flex and increases stiffness, which significantly improves shift feel and precision.
Self-returning spring
The integrated self-centering spring automatically guides the gear lever to the center position. This compensates for transmission wear by up to 95% , improving gear selection and reducing incorrect movements.
Gear Lockout
Selective lockout prevents accidental gear selection. Reverse, 5th and 6th gears are only engaged when the lock is activated by lifting the collar under the gear knob.
Customizable appearance
The gear lever has an M12x1.5 thread , so you can use the original gear knob or install an aftermarket knob of your choice.
Installation under OEM plastics
Designed for bolt-on installation under the original interior plastics. The original dust cover can also be used.
Important things to noteThe original gear lever mechanism still works, but it does not provide dust protection. It is recommended to:
-
Audi A4 B5 gear lever housing operation or
-
installing a separate REVIN dust cover
This improves the finish and protects the mechanism from contaminants.
Made from aircraft-grade 6082 aluminum and stainless steel. The anodized finish resists wear, corrosion, and harsh use – designed for long-term track and hobby use.
