{"product_id":"billet-shifter-mounting-plate","title":"Billet Shifter Mounting Plate","description":"The JXB Performance Billet Shifter Mounting Plate is engineered to resolve the inherent weaknesses of the factory shifter assembly in Audi B8 and B.5 chassis vehicles. The OEM mounting plate is constructed from flimsy plastic with sound-deadening foam, and the slider bushings are made of soft rubber that deteriorates over time. This combination allows for excessive slop and flex, particularly during enthusiastic 1-2 shifts, potentially causing the shift linkage to bind and leading to missed shifts or the shifter getting caught in the reverse track. This issue is often misinterpreted as user error, but the JXB Billet Shifter Mounting Plate directly addresses the mechanical deficiency.\n\nConstructed from billet material, this mounting plate significantly reduces shifter slop and flex, providing a much more solid and direct feel. Gear changes become more crisp and confident, with distinct feedback indicating when the next gear has been successfully engaged.\n\nInstallation is straightforward and can typically be performed from the driver's seat for most shifters. The plate is compatible with all 6-speed manual transmission (6MT) B8\/B8.5 models, including the A4, A5, S4, and S5. By upgrading to this billet component, drivers can experience a more precise and satisfying shifting experience, eliminating the frustration of missed gears caused by a flexible OEM setup.","brand":"JXB Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52662789177656,"sku":"B8012A0","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687498128.webp?v=1784321023","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/billet-shifter-mounting-plate","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
