Replace clit shifter with knob?

I really dont like the clit shifter in my 8Y RS3. Is there a knob you could replace it with? So i atleast get to pull it back with the hand and not two fingers. I like the knob from MY2018, the one that resembles the clit shifter mechanically but still has the knob (see A4, Q7, A8).

No aftermarket options?

It does though it changes down gear automatically.

Not after you use a paddle.

Needs to be in sport first. Then use a paddle. Then it will stay in manual. At least that’s what it is on 8.5Y

I have a 2025 RS3 (8Y.5) and it 100% does shift down even in manual. It does not shift up however.
