You will need the TCI TCU unless you have it already, not their transmission.

You need to be able to hold a gear and down shift or up shift as needed to be competitive. Ever try that with a stock floor shifter? If trans will engine brake it's like driving a manual trans, only being able to shift a lot faster.
Check out the video on 4L65 on road course keeping engine it's power band.

Show up to a Pro Touring Road course competition, with your 3000-4000 stalled A4 and see if your car like the rear end to pass the front end when you power out of a low speed turn.

Maybe he wants to enter something beside a 1/4 mile or less straight line event where being able manually down shift or up shift to keep engine in it's power band is important when trying to be competitive with a manual shift 3 peddle car on a Road Course.

I have no problem signing on to be a sponsor. Are you a moderator? Didn't think so. I don't have the time to spend at the moment to justify it at this moment. When I do look on occasion and see no sponsor cares to respond for a few days I provide an possible option. If the real moderators wish to discuss me being a sponsor they will PM me.

The sponsors pay decent money for the privilege of advertising and hawking their wares on this site. It is YOUR responsibility to contact the moderators and get a sponsorship.
Go ahead, keep ignoring it and being a snarky *****. I can guarantee you, you'll get banned.
