4kq shift linkage/ball socket interchangability?

[Steve Meyer]

Hi Audifans,

I have a friend trying to track down a part for his(my old) 4kq. He put an add in the wanted section, but hasn't found any in the States. Here is his listing

"I'm desperate for part no. 431711221 (ball socket)for the shift linkage - '85 4000s Quattro. I can't find one new and I'm hoping someone has one around - or might have an idea where I could locate one. Mine is... well... gone."

Does anyone know if that part is interchangable with other models?

Thanks!
Steve
