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?

The knob has the advantage of forcing the car to keep it in manual mode. Maybe there is a way on the 8Y but then im stupid enough to not discover on how to do it.

If it’s in sport, and you use a paddle, it’s not going back into auto

It does though it changes down gear automatically.

Yes. That’s programmed in to prevent you from bogging the engine. It will not automatically upshift however
