Default Yes; sort of--from BTDT

Switch is all self contained.

The wood trim pries off from around shifter pretty easily. Suggestion before you do that: use some blue painters' tape and mask off the polished aluminum trim of the shifter if yours is in good shape--it scratches easily from contact with anything rough like the trim underside, switch edges, etc. Minor mistakes happen you may not even realize.

You will have switch exposed pretty quickly. Realize though there is a pin that passes through the center of it to give it good support that you need to drive/pry out. It is the typical Audi snap in type fit EXCEPT for that pin. If you just force it without that retaining pin already out--with lots of pressure or prying, eventually things will break. You re use the pin with the new one unless you buy it separately, so don't destroy it on the way out. With that one heads up, the rest of it is just common sense simple Audi trim disassembly.
