I know but it doesn't have any specifics on driveshaft doesn't say anything about swapping driveshaft so I think it is the same. Also doesn't say anything about transmission lines. Thanks in advance for any info everyone.

I just completed my A4 to M6 swap. The DS are the same. As for the radiator, you can just remove the lines that used to go from the A4 to the radiator and leave them open. They don't do anything anymore.

I am doing the swap right now, and I have about $3K into it. Includes rebuilt T56, Spec 3 clutch, Pro 5.0, new hydraulics, the rest of the parts are used. However, I was able to sell my old torque converter and hopefully my tranny and A4 interior pieces will be sold, so I am looking around $1500 for the swap.

Yeah, I should have a few pics when I am done. Me and a buddy completed the first stage today by getting the A4 out. It was a pain in the butt, but we got it done. Next will be the interior!

As far as the tranny lines go, just plug the hole so it doesn't fill up with crud and water. You can just pick up some brass fittings at the hardware store. You can leave them open as well, up to you. Also, there is a ton of good pics in the sticky above of the whole swap someone did..

Awsome to hear SSkeet. I have it all tore down, I am just waiting for the T56 to arrive. BTW, you do pull out the plug in the crank shaft correct? Does anyone know if the throwout bearing comes with the slave cylinder, or it is purchased seperately?? Same question with the spacer?
Thanks.
Thanks.

No, you don't pull out the plug in the crankshaft. When I bought my stuff, the throw out bearing came seperatly. The master, resevoir, and quick connect line to the TOB was one assembly.
As far as the plug went, I don't remember what size it is. Just measure your tranny line fitting and pick a couple up.
