Default Re: Those that have performed a M6 > A4 conversion inside please

I was told that I needed to use a Lokar 36" dipstick kit...is there only 1 specific 36"? Do any of the sponsors carry them or would I be better off buying direct? About the tranny mount...what brand, material, etc. should I go with? Thanks for your help!
Why wouldnt stock F-body A4 trans dipstick work?
You cant use the stock A4 trans dipstick because on a 200r4 the dipstick hole is located further back on the transmission then it is a 4l60e.
The lokar dipsticks work great, they have trans mount and engine mount ones, I used the trans mount.

Your also going to have to fab up a TV cable bracket unless you go with a manual valvebody.

I did the A4 to 200r4 swap and havnt looked back since. I did everything myself inculding building the 200r4.

Well...Ive got the dipstick kit, the tranny mount, the tranny cooler, the tranny temp. gauge, and automatic pedal assembly all knocked out. Hopefully by tomorrow I will have the top portion of the console. Im still needing the shifter, leather wrapped Firebird T-shaped ****, range selector cable/bracket/lever, park lock cable/lever/bracket, converter, and driveshaft. If you have any of these parts for sale besides the converter and driveshaft, please let me know. Thanks!
