looks good. I've done the a4 to m6 swap on my own, and am about to do an m6 to a3 swap.
the tranny jack sure beats the hell out of mine: my chest and arms!

Nope, we used a 93 M6 harness I sold him along with the rest of the tranny and swap parts. All he had to get was a clutch and hydrolics. Car looks/functions like a 6spd would function from the factory.

If he had everything he needed at hand, this would of been done in a weekend. It's really not as bad as people make it seem. He pretty much did it in two afternoons by himself (with someone to assist in the A4 transmission drop).

so true. never buying another auto car again lol
used a 93 camaro 6 speed pcm and harness.made the wiring that much easier.if you plan on doing the swap on a 93 theres really only 1 extra thing t0 watch out for and thats remove the tranny to throttle body cable. and if your gonna use an m6 harness cut off the reverse lights pigtail of the harness, cover those 2 wires, elongate the 2 wires for the reverse lights inside the car and solder the pigtail onto them, and then run that into the tranny's reverse light connection. everything works flawless.if you dont do that your gonna be blowing gauge fuses,backup lights wont work, and drain your battery. (learned the hardway since i couldent find a write up on using an m6 harness)

Believe it or not nothing had to be changed - just what he mentioned (moving the reverse light wires from inside the car to the transmission connector) and a few little things. Everything works like it's from the factory. Pretty clean. Your write-up is better though (merv).. This kid just sticks to the pictures.. That's that Hialeah (miami) **** for ya
