Default M6 to A4.... what is needed???

Ok guys my fiancee is buying a 98 camaro z28 M6 and we are gonna swap my old A4 into it...

My 98 TA was an A4 but i swapped it out for an A3 (RMVB th400)...

I was wondering if i had everything i needed to complete the swap. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!!!

1) Swap Engine/trans Wiring harness's on our cars (mine is a4 harness and her's is M6) MY A4 harness will be put on her car, and her m6 harness will be put on my car since i dont use the trans wiring anyway cuz im running a rmvb th400....

2) I have all the stuff from my A4...
**Tranny Crossmember
**Tranny Mount
**Flywheel
**Converter
**4l60E
**wiring harness (off my car, and ill put hers on my car)
**consol (will swap consols between cars)
**A4 shifter, cable
** tune ( i have hptuners)


3) what else do i need? am i forgetting anything?

Cause there are a few switches on the Pedals that control things..in the Auto setup there is the one that controls the TCC Lockup and the Park Release Solenoid, aswell as all the wiring going to the Auto Shifter to tell the PCM what gear its in, plus the N/S Switch.

That and with the Manual there is the N/S Switch, aswell as the Reverse Lights that go into the Harness.

All this is required if you are going to go with the Electronic Transmission..and there is no way around it but doing it right, cause if you don't it'll be a nightmare.


That's why I like having the T56..much simpler..


Teach her to drive the M6..
