That's assuming you are going with a 4L60E.

im with the merv on this one, why do u want to swap to a A4?????? ive been trying since last year to gather parts for a m6 lol. in my opinion the m6 is the way to go. if you cant drive it just learn it. trust me, you have the better tranny set up now. unless ur doing drag racing a lot which u shldnt get a 4l60e anyway stay with the manual

if you have to swap to auto, forget the 4l60e. Its absolutely garbage. The t56 holds up a ton better (if you are a half *** good driver). if you're going auto get a 4l80e, or just sell your car for a auto.

If this turns into another M6 vs A4 thread, it's over. These are getting so old that Jesus himself is getting mad.
THERE IS NO "BETTER" TRANS. THE A4 IS JUST AS GOOD AND USEFUL AS THE M6 DEPENDING ON PERSONAL TASTE. Overall, the T56 drivetrain will not hold up any better (stock for stock) than a 4L60E. If you want to hold real power with either one, you'll have to either build the auto or get a new clutch & rear for the manual. Your 10-bolt will last much longer (and into much higher power levels) with the auto, with a manual the 10-bolt is at risk even at stock power levels.
The OP asked about what is needed to swap. That is where this thread needs to go.

I was asking why he didn't want to go with the T56 since the car is currently setup for that..there is no battle here..lol
I've got no problem telling him what he needs to do, I was just asking if he was willing to go through that nightmare of wiring..

I have been driving stick for the past 3 years in orlando traffic. im fed up with it. So i want a Auto, I'm trading my harness and t56 stuff for a a4 harness and other stuff also. I just gotta find a 99 pcm for a auto car.
but what i think i need is
TC
Dipstick and tube
Trans
Center console
pcm
wiring harness
crossmember
shifter
what else is there
plus i bought the car as a roller but comes with everything but motor tranny and pcm. so i want a auto because it is cheaper. t56 used go for 600+ i found this auto for 400
