I'm new to V8 5-speeds and think that the play in the shift mechanism is a little excessive. I'm comparing to the newer A4 and allroad manuals. Someone even said that the press reported in a V8 5-speed review that, "The shifter felt like it was connected by bunge cords."  I just want to make my 5-speed shifter as tight as possible.
 
I did some more investigation and found a part in the parts bible. It does not spell out part numbers for the components.

Has anyone purchased and installed this repair kit?  What are your findings after install?
 
Thanks,
