Here is what it takes:

shifter
shifter ****
transmission
bellhousing
transmount
pilot bearing
tranny crossmember
clutch
flywheel
hydraulics
pedal assembly
shift plate
flash pcm

Parts total ~ $4000
Labor ~ $900

I no longer have a need for the Sy3500 TC...PM me if you're interested.
Now "IF" you can find a donor car it gets a lot cheaper. So if someone with a M6 wants to convert to an A4 then you guys just basically swap parts. All you need to pay for then is the labor (if applicable) and maybe the PCM being flashed for a M6.

A lot of people have done this conversion but most feel it's cheaper and easier to just sell the A4 car and buy one with a M6.

Good luck.
