Default M6 too A4 swap??

Didn't know if i should have put this here or in the M6 thread, what all would i need, after seeing how much the M6 is worth, might consider going to an A4, is it a real hassle, if anyone can give me a rundown of all i would need other then the basics like of coarse the Trans/flexplate/converter/shifter.

I'm sure the PCM would have to be re-tuned, different driveshaft, how much of the wireing needs changing?

More consistant really, i don't know, maybe i'll stick with what i have who knows, my only real concern is burning up clutches, heck automatics seem to last awhile, i'm sure i can put together an A4 with all the good stuff for less then what i can sell this M6 for, my clutch/pp/flywheel have just been replaced, so all that stuff is fresh, plus the B&M shifter, so what all will i need to convert it over??

i just sold my M6 setup and am in the process of installing a th400 but i got it off of someone who was going to a different combo ....so i saved a lot of $ ...it just depends on your time frame if you want to wait for someone selling or buy new ...

I traded my M6 with a busted 2nd gear straight across for a built th350 with 4k stall and a modified crossmember (but I ended up buying a nicer BMR piece anyway)

So I'm sure you could find somebody that wants to go A4 to M6

*edit* It is a bit of work to do this swap. From what I've always heard, if you have an M6 either keep it that way or go th350/400. Sell the car and buy an A4 car if you want one bad enough. But if you have the time/skills to do it, go for it
